Brazing it is an option, but I'll try to find a good one first. There is no hurry. This and the T90 I just finished are going on the shelf as ready spares when needed. A guy who lives an hour away has a spare TC. He's going to check out the bearing cap and let me know.
The day wasn't a loss. I spent the last 3 hours completely tearing down the second D18. I'll be able to use a number of parts from this one. Unfortunately the rear bearing cap is broken at the parking brake lever pivot point. I have to give kudos to Joe's bearing tool. I've used it twice now and it worked great. Well worth the money in my book.

Thanks nofender, I appreciate it. I've been doing some looking online. I didn't realize there are at least 3 or 4 different rear bearing caps. So just to be clear which one I need, here is a photo of mine. |

Matt Fox of QTM is selling a complete gasket and seal kit with the double lip seals.
You could easily weld that bearing cap with some 55% nickle rod. You don't even need to be a good welder just a good grinder ! Ha Ha !

I don't know how true this is but a motorcycle mechanic said that he repaired several bike or water craft parts my mixing a slurry of AL or what ever metal you are dealing with and slow setting super glue. Set up a mold to contain what you pour in and shoot it with an accelerator that causes it to set up almost immediately. He claimed that you could drill, machine or whatever after it set up. I never have tried it and I know that the guy is a bit of a BS artist. YMMV.

I decided to braze my cracked rear output cap. I had nothing to lose by trying. I ground a V into the cracks, then brazed them. I think it came out pretty good.
Upon close inspection I found a couple small cracks around the parking brake pivot stud, so we V'd and then brazed them too. Then I set the cap in the mill and milled the excess braze off within about .005" of the surface. Then the last step was to sand and lap it completely flat. It's not perfect, but it's repaired as well as I can do with my limited skills. What do you guys think, will it hold? |

It looks just like mine, and like I said, mine has been running that way for 20+ years. Put it on and run it. BW

Thanks guys. I'd still prefer an undamaged part. But for the time being I'll plan to use it.
Different subject - the pilot bushing inside the mainshaft. According to Novak, these should have an I.D. of .628" when new. Anything over .630" should be replaced. My two shaft's bushings measure .632" and .634". Both shafts are good otherwise. I expect that a new bushing would be undersized and need to be reamed to .628" after installation, a reamer I don't have and really don't want to purchase. Novak's web site says they can install and ream the bushing for a minimal charge. Has anyone used their service? The alternative is to use a local machine shop, but that may be more expensive. How have you guys dealt with this issue? |

You mean the bushing for the front output clutch shaft ?
I have a new one available if you need one. It should not require any additional reaming.

Yes, that's it. What is the ID of the bushing you have? I assume it has an interference fit of something like .001" - .0015", so the current ID will reduce a little after its pressed in. My output clutch shaft measures .624". Thanks Steve

It's an OEM NOS bushing.
I'll need to measure the I.D. and the O.D. when I get back home.

Ok - thanks. BTW - do you have any tips for removing the old bushing? I thought I'd try the fill it with grease and a close fitting dowel technique....
