Some comments:

To get the press fit correct you MUST wire EDM to exacting size.
We use a fixture to press on to the shaft of the motor for correct alignment and distance.
We created a fixture to control the sizes of the housings (we do no sand as per instructions) using a mill.

We do run 4 cims with 4 shifters that are in coordination....no issues

I believe the NBD System is still one of the easiest, lowest cost, reliable drive transmissions that all teams can make.

We have yet to have a transmission failure.
Could we get drawings of these fixtures? that would be an awesome addition to the whitepaper.
