My brother works for MasterCAM so let me know if I can be of assistance. He has some really good contacts in the manufacturing industry.Personally, I'm working on shift forks (since the magnus ones suck), and chromo shift fork ends. Going to try and do them so they will work with early or late select lever things. I might tinker with 3/4 synchros since mitsu ones are months out anymore. Eventually I'll make gears. I've talked to the MTM guy, and tried to get him to do a run of the dsm ones with a center diff body, so I could be a stocking dealer. but the language barrier kinda squashed that, and I don't think he really wants to do "production" type work. Anyway I think I can do them in my shop for a better price. We will see though.
a complementary seat of mastercam would be swell o. ohh with a post for a tree vmc with a dynapath 50My brother works for MasterCAM so let me know if I can be of assistance. He has some really good contacts in the manufacturing industry.
That is no problem, they are on the website. Only the cross shafts are available currently until I have received the spider gears from NEAT and have inventoried what I have remaining for 4 spider center diff parts since the housings and covers discontinued.@twicks69 I have a set (4) of spider gears coming from Neat as well, can you mark me down for one of the cross shafts? Then we don't have to rob parts from my current 4 spider (you built) and I can save it for future projects. I have a few spare transmissions floating around so I see value in keeping it together.
Ha. I wish I could. Within reason I can definitely try to help with Mastercam related stuff though.a complementary seat of mastercam would be swell o. ohh with a post for a tree vmc with a dynapath 50
Whats make the magnus forks bad? since in another contry with even less parts i always thought of these as a buy once to do it right option.This looks promissing. Everyone has been so debbie downer for a long time on this. So far I've been able to get almost any part I've needed to build a trans from mitsu. Some shit takes a while, but it gets here. You have to have a good corpse to start with, but I can still get a "built" trans out the door. Can't always build the trans I want to build, but it doesn't matter much. I've gone just as fast on a pile I slapped together out of junk used up stuff, old fiber synchros, chipped gears, mismatch bearings/races, ect. Did not shift quite as good as a nice new fresh one, but it wasn't bad at all. Lasted just as long as any of the high $$ new parts, detailed, shot peened, bad ass build deals I had.
We all get the tunnel vision, there are places other than the US, and the 4g/w/f5m is a pretty common drivetrain, and lots of people play with them. Seems like most with more money and care than us. The need is there, the parts will show up. Quit crying and forge ahead, or get out of the way.
For example, look at the old ford top loader. There was a time when you could not get ANY new hard part for them, cores were going for big money. Now you can buy literally every part new. And it isn't like theres a stick shift ford on every street corner.
I know tim is worried about the 3/4 sliders, but I don't think thats a huge deal. In 10 years of building these for people, I've seen like 2 3/4hub/slider that was trashed - some wear yes, but very useable. Now the 1/2 hub slider that is a BIG deal. They are all trashed. That's the one we need to worry about right now today.
I think the next biggest need is transfercase couplers and a reasonable output shaft. I got a lot of tcases here, but they all have worn couplers. Almost every trans that comes in has a junk output shaft too.
