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.

No :)

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.

Dream killer, just kidding Paul.
We always talk about how bullet proof that shaft is.  Is the front
bearing markedly different from the rear bearing?  I would treat prop
torque pulse issues separately since they come to bear either way.
 Decker, Michael

No but that has noting to do with it.
