is it available?

is the shaft available?

" Pretty sure that's all that's needed. If I had the T-14+OD

this certainly sounds straightforward enough, easier than i'd thought.
while they were only offered with o/d in '68 and maybe '69, t14s were
used '68-'76 and ought to be moderately plentiful.

" The OD adapter has a machined round section that centers the
" OD's output shaft along the input->output->OD-output axis. You
" don't want those shafts not on-axis! The hole is around 2.5"
" across; it would have to be enlarged about 1/2" yet remain
" perfectly concentric.  Not a trivial operation, but a really
" good shop could do it. In cast iron.

it ought to be pretty easy for any machinist that knows how to use a
miller.

while you're talking about the amc parts catalog, can you tell if the
od adapters for t96 and t14 actually are the same part?
