Joe,

Not that you haven't done enough for the cause - and just won't quit - but how about asking that shop to quote on 200 shafts and 500 shafts, by, say Jan 15? (Were they a CNC shop?) Using SPI spec material. And NO PINS. Teams can press out the pins from the flange of the planet carrier in the gearbox and press them into the flange of the new shaft. I don't know if the $75 figure included the hand work of pin installation or just reflected the schedule crisis.

And I agree with you - I think it's perfectly legal.

:Basically, I had to have 32 of these drill shafts FAST. As a result, I had to find a source to make them quickly. I found a local source to make them for $75 each, not the cheapest I am sure but they were to print and on time (2 days from print to parts).

: I suppose that I could set them up to do it all over again if enough teams want them.

: As to whether it is 'legal' or not, I suppose that it IS legal if the material is from Small Parts.
