Not yet. I am waiting for the part to arrive from Dyers. To say I am not impressed with their service is an understatement. I was told on the phone that I would have it in 2 days, now the UPS website says I probably won't get it until next Wednesday sometime. This is after charging me $42.12 for shipping. If I had of known it was going to take that long I probably would have bought it elsewhere. As I said to them when I complained about it. Lesson learned.

I picked up the new snout shaft today. 45 minutes to install it and time for a test drive. All is good in Demonland again.

Hey Jack,I know you’ve been up and running for a long time.Just throwing this out there.On my setup ,about the same as yours,on a cold start my belt is quite loose at operating temp there is no slack.Is it possible that when hot your belt could have been running tight.

Above is a 7/8” coupler
Above are performance couplers in “street” 1.125” and competition 1.25”
Jacks shaft measured 1” (LOL) so I’m assuming he has a 7/8” spline coupling

I did check that and what I found was, the belt got tighter for sure, but I still had lots of play in the belt. Maybe a 1/2 inch from side to side. It starts out cold at about 3/4 to an inch of play. When I looked closely at the broken shaft I noticed what looked like air bubbles in the shaft where it broke. I figure it was either a bad piece of metal or metal fatigue that caused the problem. I wish I still had the old shaft, I would post a close up photo of the break.
