I'm in the conceptual phases of a project..where I try to get a handle on how miserable I'd be by the end of it.
I'd need a very small qty of input shafts similar to the one shown made from scratch...there would be some minor differences. Like any transmission shaft, they would need to be made from decently 'strong' material and properly hardened. This shaft is a Chrysler A904-family transmission (3 speed automatic), if that matters.
I've shown the 'small' shaft; I'd also want some bigger versions that have a max diameter of about 1.3 inches.
By small I mean less than 5 of each. As you can see, there are two splined sections and a few shiny ground sections. Plus a couple ring grooves. The rest is lathe turned.
So....my questions:
1) Who is willing and able to make these? I could rough them out but don't have abilities beyond that to spline or grind them.
2) Am I asking for a beating over this...? Is this part so complex that it would cost a mint, etc.?
No, I cannot buy what I want as it's never been made. I also can't modify one of these as that would weaken it beyond use.
Thanks!
