 Paul,

    The photo of the Scott-Speirer-Ross-Bell_Sun thrust bearing modification
looks like it would be the right approach for my Ross drive.  Do you have
the phone number of the machinest/contact who I might chat with about
modifying my Ross for a Thrust Bearing. I looked at the web page under PSRU
but could not find that info.

Thanks

What you are looking at on that picture is the official Ross fix done 
by Chris Ross. Pretty straight forward IMHO. Finn made some measurements 
of the space available.Tracy wound up helping Finn fix his box as I 
recall. Perhaps Finn and Tracy can explain what they did.

The way I see it is it all depends on these dimensions.
The input shaft is only so long. If the clutch disk is too close to
the pinion carrier about the only thing you can do is make a longer
shaft and add spacers where necessary to gain space for a couple
of needle thrust bearings.

Is yours starting to give you trouble?
