Hi Paul,

Can you explain your spline repair ?

Hi Laurens - my spline was repaired (I believe) per 2) in Phils post on the 5 speeder crankshaft ... Phil did show me there was a slight concave in the S&S spline faces which reduced the contact area! My thanks again to Phil for sorting the fix and spending the time to explain it to me, as well as sorting a quick-fix kit for my old regulator (ie ready to fit!).
