If you are mounting a CIM to the VP you will have to cut the shaft no matter what gear ratio. The shaft can't go all the way through the input stage, unless you did some really interesting modifications. You could use standoffs and cut the shaft less than we did.
You know, one year we need to stake out the AndyMark building for several weeks before Kickoff so we can see what the game pieces will be. Hidden webcam? :rolleyes: - DonRotolo [more]
