    304 vs 316 stainless steel for shafts.

    I use 2205 in an application of pump shafts on 1000-1500 HP engines with great success. You might call Scott @ Best Stainless http://www.beststainless.com/ and see what they think about your problem. Tom

    Thanks to all for your ideas, but I need the actual specs right down to the .001" This is a 50 years old engine, butI have found that I can get the specs at a place in Michigan. They have the orginial drawings and blueprints that I was looking for. So this one is solved. Thanks Tom

    Looking for oddball tap?

    Besure to check the treads with a thread gauge, as there is a 3/4"-10 taps out there also. I would think that it is really a 11/16"-11 or a 3/4"-10 not to say they don't but most auto companys in that time period just standard type threads for ease of avaiablity and cheap tooling...

    I think the Mg has been ruled out in favor of A206. With the strength of A206 Higher than that of the Fe D4018. I may just try molding a few parts with the current patterns and see what happens. Bean counter wants less weight with out a total retooling. After looking at the part and the...
