Sorry to say it Brad, but this F'ing Tbody is brand new, that is obvious. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it is cheap. It isn't a result of the tack welding, besides, I only tack welded the fulcrum to the end of the shaft....you poopoo head!
Of course I'm not that bad!
It is because the bearings the dick_head designers use have no seals on them. They aren't even sealed bearings! It should be easy to seal up, but it still annoys me. I am thinking of machining two teflon bushings to slide over the shafts and butt up against the bearings. I have a sheet of teflon so I know it is low friction, and easy to machine as well. I can make it a press-fit so that it is tight to the housing so that there is very little leakage.
Unless you have a better idea. I am considering scrapping it and getting a mustang TB in place of it. I'm just undecided.
It still sucks though.
