Re: pic: AM Supershifter mount / cntr axle saddle rev 3

Version 1 was very much a square block. It came in pretty heavy so I then reworked the design to reduce weight. I am now considering a design to make this a two piece - bolt together component for ease of milling. In fact, I realized that I don't need the bearing on the transmission side of things as the shaft is supported by the exact same bearing coming out of the AM transmission. I am also considering not bolting to all four through bolts on the transmission. Anybody have any thoughts as to the strength of just bolting to the AM supershifter with just two bolts
This will take me a few days to design as I have to get back to my duties of designing a new closet for the bedroom. (Cut the lumber yesterday) Need to finish before FIRST season or else
