Pokchop,

I think most suppliers carry the 3/4" shaft in stock. You may have to have it special ordered.

Where have you been looking? Have you tried on eBay?

northern tool carries them but they are about 200 bucks...they handle up to eight horse......i am looking for a performance clutch for my 1" and didn't want a torq converter. If you run across one let me know....

Hey Hellbent,
just buy a 3/4 clutch and have it bored to 1" and run a broach through it. I have done this successfully many times and it works fantastic. There is plenty of meat on the clutch hub to do this also

wonder if ya could take a 1" torq converter and bore it out to 1 1/8", thats what my freakin shat measures, had a big pit in my stomach when I was looking at my decimal to fraction conversion chart and makeing sure I was reading it right. I'm startin to think building a barstool was a bad idea.

Thanks Mike.
I see that you have a 40 T sproket in your store. I will be getting that and some other things this week.
i have a 54 t but i think a smaller one will work better.
I will try and post some pics of my new BSR today.
I just finished the frame and trying to get it ready for paint.
