Sho-Bud cross shafts needed!

Tue Sep 13, 2022 12:12 pm

Does anyone have cross shafts for a two hole pull early Sho-Bud S10?
I'm upgrading my rack and barrel system and need several(5) 5/16" round shafts.
PSG parts don't have any at the moment, perhaps someone in the UK
could make them if no second hand ones appear?
Any help with this project will be gratefully received!

Easier to obtain 8mm rod you can buy it in 3mtr lengths

Thanks for that John.
5/16 ain’t a problem! I could make them in stainless or mild steel (plated?) but I’d prefer to keep as authentic as poss.
I assume the cranks themselves are welded to the shafts?
Maybe someone has a drawerful of them somewhere!?

yes I know where your coming from, if someone offered me a steel and the cross shafts were two thousanths of an inch oversize.....I would probably reject it.....
If you weld the cranks on to the cross shafts you will be turning a Shobud into a Carter Starter, I would not reccomend that..
Have a word with Dave Seddon he will steer you right
