Half Shaft
#24
We have a welded side shaft in the offset supercharged single seater, it was done by an extremely talented engineering friend of mine and comprehensively tested post welding by me who followed his directive to the letter: "Go and do some fast starts and to try and break it during testing before you take it to the hill climb...." Needless to say I'm conscious of it & a little gentle off the line, but once the wheels are moving, it's foot flat all the way.

He machined the 2 cut ends to a taper and then proceeded to TIG weld the taper back up to size again thus ensuring full penetration of the weld.

I wonder if yours might be a candidate for friction welding ?? Of course it may just be easier to source another side shaft...
