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.

I think the engine that Everette Hatch was running backward was
the "super lite" which had different end covers anyway. If you
run an external dry sump pump the issues are far fewer.
Take the oil pump drive out, and the oil pump for that matter
and you can make a nearly flat front cover

Apples and oranges.  New end housing or new e-shaft.
