This is how I make the stub shaft 250 saw crank for inboard 9 tooth use. I take the 5/8" shaft and grind it down to 9/16" using the tool I made here. I made a tool holder for my dremel tool to be used on the lathe. I first use the 60 grit roll cartridge for roughing the shaft. It takes about 3 cartridges to get the shaft to within about .010 of the finish size of .960. At that point I switch over to the stacked cut off wheels because they are harder and grind more consistent. Then I finish the shaft with some 320 wet paper. Max torque makes a clutch for this setup for the mac 49 class. The cranks you can get for $20.00 or so in the chainsaw part of E bay. In the midwest we have about 20 of these running and have raced them for the last 5 years. Only 2 failures have been seen. One the threads broke off because the clutch wasn't seated against the crank stub. The other a guy broke the end off because he forgot it was left hand thread. We've won a ton of races using this cheap crank. It takes about 1/2 hour to grind it down. good luck. 

i need one more just like the one in the picture. cash, paypal or trade

You can buy the hydraulic fitting aluminum dust caps that are very close to the caps used on Hornet sprint karts. I have bought some of these caps and they fit my Hornet tanks and look great. The main difference I see in them is that there is one less thread on the cap and they don't have the vent hole drilled yet. Unless you hold one of these caps next to an original Hornet cap you will not notice the missing thread. One less thread does NOT affect their fit to a Hornet filler neck. They don't come with any sealing device, but you can add a small baffle plate inside the cap and then use an O ring or a hand made gasket from cork or heavy gasket material. These are made by Capsnplugs. Their minimum order is 900 caps. For those of you needing less than 900, you can buy these in a package of four from ANplumbing.com.
