Barry, and others,
Since my roll master cam gear has already been cut for the bearing on the gear side and both thrust bearings and sets of washers are in good shape, do you think it would be ok for me to duplicate this part using a good quality piece of mild steal plate or even stainless? I could easy make this part if you think a non hardened piece would hold up. It the stock piece was just a bit thicker then obviously modifying it would be the ideal choice.
Otherwise I'll just shelf it and use one of the bronze plates instead.
Just curious. .
