Guys,
I am a little concerned about making the adapter plates between the transaxle and half shafts out of 1018 steel ... hellova place to have a failure!
I've located some 17-4PH material to make them out of. This is a high strength stainless steel that can be heat treated. We are knifemakers and have computer controlled salt pots in which to do the heat treating and have done 17-4PH before.
This stuff HT'd to about RC 30-35 appropriate for the task?
Thanks,
