Thank you, Philipp-Pierre. Forgive me for assuming: Je demeurais a
Pointe
Claire (pres de Montreal, Quebec) de l'age douze a dix-sept. Etes vous
Canadien ou Francais ou Arcadien? I'm sorry, I don't know how to get to
the proper
accent symbols, etc., in my word processor, and I have not lived in any
French speaking community after leaving there when I turned 18 (except 4
1/2
years in Vietnam, where French came in handy).

Does the accessory end of the e-shaft lend itself to accepting drive
adapters? It's been ages since I've seen a rotary "naked", so I don't
remember
what anything looks like. Thanks again, Bernie.

It seems like there is plenty of meat in the e shaft to machine splines,
either male or female. JMHO


The diameter is way down. There are torsional issues. It would
be dangerous. You could always make a new e-shaft but there would
be oil pump drive issues and front cover issues. Not easy. Almost
a whole new engine front end design would be required.
