     I don't know Ken. My spline eliminator might take all of 20

You could use the Ringfetter elements to attach the shaft as well
Paul.
The new smaller ones would work great for that job. They
just need a cylindrical bore and holes to pull the push plate. They
hold like a weld, they use them on train wheels. Bill Jepson

I am not sure I know what that is. Is that the right spelling? Google
has nothing.

OK here it is Ringfeder.

I am using Ringfeder to hold the flywheel on the Single Rotor. It is a neat
solution, you have to very particular about the torque requirements on the
screws holding the pressure plate.
