833 pro shift rings.

hi, for what it's worth, I had a older pro shifted 833, couldn't get pro rings for it, I welded up the nubs and machined them in my lathe. fitted them. they were good for 4 years of drag racing, before having to reweld them, I welded them with heliarc . I used mild steel rod. also, I ran mobil one gear oil. that made a huge difference in wear. If I broke a gear, I would lathe the ring off, and lathed the new gear for it to fit, welded it on I stitch welded it, with four welds.

I thought about doing that but I wasnt sure how the mild steel would hold up. I sent liberty an email asking them if they would faceplate these gears that were pro shifted and supply the sliders. If not maybe I will try your suggestion. Thanks for the great Idea.
