    Yes on the brazing.<br>
    <br>
    Clark's has throw out bearing shafts for sale. Until recently they
    were made by CVCC member David Robertson when he worked for a
    machine shop in Richmond. See attached newsletter for the story on
    how they are made. <br>
    <br>
    Input shafts are the ~2 feet long rod that fits into the clutch
    splines. They are many around in the garage somewhere. Everything is
    buried due to moving the last of my 35+ year parts collection from
    Richmond.<br>
    <br>
    Buy a seal kit along with the throw out bearing shaft and we can
    change it out. Oh, buy an extra input shaft seal, as the new part
    uses two seals. Has anyone measured your input shaft to see if it is
    and early or late (slightly larger in diameter, especially the seal
    area, the seals are different). I guess I can unbury the hydraulic
    press to do it.<br>

          I have oxy/acet and can braze the crack if you like. I have
          arc welded them in years past, but it is very messy. I have
          also put them back in with short cracks. MIG should be easy
          also. It will take some grinding to get the area smooth enough
          for the smooth operation of the bearing to slide. I have
          everything except TIG in the welding department.<br>
          <br>
          JB weld will not hold the crack against further cracking. If
          you try this, put a small drilled hole (1/8" or smaller) at
          the end of the crack.<br>

              <div>After our discovery of a crack in the throw out
                bearing shaft on Richard's Diff today I searched the

                on the fact that the crack has not reached the seal area
                I think we would be safe to try to repair the crack with

                Agreed about length of crack. Years ago with no time to
                replace the shaft and customer not being able to afford
                it anyway, I cleaned the crack and gently ground a small
                V the length of it and brazed it together. Filed and
                sanded the excess brass smooth and put it together. It
                held together for the next several years that I tended
                to the car then lost track of it. After writing this
                however the better repair is replacing the shaft. Dan D
                is correct too, finding good diffs is getting harder.<br>
                <br>
                 Fun day today.  Too many donuts though.<br>
