Hi Jack, John, (and anyone else who's _still_ interested)
When building my A-Type OD, a few bits were sourced from Quantum. As I
understand it, Quantum rebuilds lots of gearboxes. John sources lots of
parts from the UK, and came across a big batch of non-OD mainshafts. He
bought them, and has a machine shop here in the States chop out the excess
length, then fabricate and weld on a section with the necessary splines.
Probably fine for road use. Could be fine for the power of a full race
engine... ;-)
By all means give him a call. I'll bet he would tell you how he goes about
the conversion. He's always seemed reasonable when I have talked to him.
