Prop Shaft

Don't argue with me Bob.
Look at the circled area, this is why I say ball endmill and full radius on the key. Notice the pinched pressure area, there already cranks in there, in you can bet on it.

this looks like what Casale did to mine after they shortened the shaft for the whirlawy , they recut the keyway and it looks exactly like that picture , i complained so much about it and the terrible re machine work they took 500 off the bill to replace the shaft

Know anyone around Fresno/Clovis that does ball endmill cuts? Im about to need that done on my Belmont when I put a shaft release on it.
Thanks for the explanation and diagrams. Now I understand what Ive been told before.

I go to Automotive Machine Specialties (AMS). They are down town Fresno on Broadway by the freeway overpass. They are swamped right now and it might take awhile for them to do it. They are real cool and have boats. If you go there see if they will show you around, all kinds of cool machines and projects in there.
If that does'nt work out there has got to be at least 20 shops or individuals around that can do that work.

Thanks HotWater. I'm gonna have to have you over to explain the rest of whatever the hell they just said. Is there one of those cute little yellow guys that has his hand swooping backward over his forehead?? I could use one.
