Hub For Large Splined Crankshaft Needed

Thank you. I knew I saw it somewhere here before, but had no luck finding it. At least I now know what I need when I fix up the engine.

Thank you for the opinions and suggestions. I am glad you had brought up opening up a driveplate, as I was wondering myself if that would work. I would think if one did it carefully, it can be done as it is soft metal. Or even possibly making one from aluminum as I had made a tapered one before. Going to play around with it and the ideas over the next while and see what I can come up with. Great fun, little projects. Gotta love them.

Thanks for chiming in here Jason. That is one thing I read is that you had turned it down with a lathe. I unfortunately do not have one, now would I even know how to turn one on.... Anyways, thanks for your opinion on drilling out an existing backplate. I may even hunt down a piece of aluminum and try something on my drill press for fun in the spring. Heck, I made one for a tapered engine already, once, and seems to work, so I have absolutely nothing to lose. On the bright side, I will always have a piston and cylinder set as a spare set.
