Thats a good idea, something to remember when ive got to do mine. How did you get yours made? Draw up a design and get them machined out of 4130 billet?

Well worth it I'd say. I'll just probably get my Sirion shafts modified though as it will only have about 100hp at the engine. My next engine conversion mini will need something like what you've done though.
