This balancing thing is causing me some confusion. Appears there are two
camps here in Oz - those that believe that only the Mazda factory can
satisfactorily balance an assembly, and anybody claiming to be able to do it
is just taking your money. This mob do not balance, and have never really
had any problems in racing.
Several crowds do believe balancing is critical, and offer the service
(Selectmaz in Melbourne charge $660AUS to do the job, if you supply shaft
and accessories plus rotors), but how they do it is a mystery.
The jury is out for me at the moment - pending more research.

Hi Paul

Received my billet eccentric shaft from New Zealand, and the part

looks

good. You will see the rotor bearing flanks are smaller in that the

10mm of

metal adjacent is missing - like the 12A shafts I believe. This was

done to

lighten the shaft for racing.

Paul Carey,
I checked this against the 12 A e- shaft and the rotor bearings flanks are
very similar.
