Setting up gears in an 8-3/4

Hey Fishy, before you make anymore shim changes I'd tighten up the backlash to .009" and that may help your coast. Your drive pattern looks really good in pictures 3 and 4.

Hey Terry thanks for the input. The backlash is set to .009 right now. So you think the drive pattern looks ok. The problem with me is I haven't done this before and don't know what's acceptable. I thought it was supposed to be more centered and no matter what shim I tried I couldn't get both sides centered up at the same time. That's why I was planning on taking it by my buddies tomorrow to see what he thinks. I'm going right by his house anyway.

Thanks, Tracy
