Nice crank shaft, Chris!So where did you get those nifty taper pins and taper drill? I assume they come as a matched set?Kim

Just looked those up on McMaster's website. They don't give those bits away, do they? And interestingly, the drill bits & reamers are listed as 1" over 50" taper. But the taper pins are listed as 1/4" over 12". That's 1:48 rather than the 1:50 of the drills. Why the difference?Also, do you use the stainless taper pins? Or the 12L14 taper pins?Thanks Chris,Kim

Your work rate is phenomenal. Waiting for the loctite to cure is probably the only way of slowing down you build progress. Mike
Whee! As the old textbooks would say, the sequence when the steering wheel is turned to the left is left as an excercise for the reader!
