Carrier Bearings and Shaft

It has been a while since I posted.  It took a while to find the right bearings and decide what would be the best carrier bearing for the shaft.   

You can see the step on the right side spline going from right to left.  I had to be creative and use my lathe at home and set up an air grinder to grind the diameter down so that the spline end will extend through the carrier bearing.  It worked out ok on the left.  I'll grind the other side next.

Carrier Bearing is rated at 9,000 rpm and has a clamping collar system on the other side.  I will be making the moutning bracket next.
