Question on sprocket shaft spacer

[itsafatboy]

Probably dumb but between Vulcan or Dark horse so any opinions on quality of these , Vulcan a little less money but have heard they make quality items

just want whoever makes the hardest steel one out there , so the seal doesn't wear into it

so found out the Vulcan is made from hardened 1045 steel so i already ordered the darkhorse one hoping its 4140 but not sure

I made my own ...... 

OK here it is, I made a mistake earlier when I said T11, it's actually H11 tool steel.

I lube'd it up an trial fitted it before taking the pix.  In this pic you can see where the seal runs.












Now that's something descent for the rotor to press against.








I ran a 3/8" Tap through the two holes while the rotor was out.  While not really necessary it does make rotor removal/installation a lot easier.

That's a great Idea and worth the price of admission! Time to fire up the lathe. What Quality of Steel did you use FSG? Thanks

[FSG]

it's actually H11 tool steel here in Oz
