That's the thing, even with a lock nut as soon as I hit the brakes it becomes loose again. How do you other guys lock the one way ? I even turned the lock nut so that the rubber side is closer, still no luck.

There is already a washer and a locknut. And it still loosens. Even BITD it was the same. I always drive with the one way free. But now I want to full time 4WD with brushless.

How much movement is there on the layshaft? May be better if theres none as the current manual layout does have slo. Maybe some wafer thin washers on the layshaft that sit between the bearing a chunk on the layshadt may resolve it

Ok great, also good design but as per my tests on similar designs i would go one mm thicker if using a fast motor.

Thinking outside the box is whats needed. If you have a thrust or bearing between the two pulleys may be the reason. If you have thrust id opt for the solid bushing and lock tighting the nyloc nut on tight back to front or if you can find a wasp solid layshaft get that.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Stephen about the tub I ordered too, last time I heard from him was about 2 weeks ago. I don't want to hassle them cos I know they were short-staffed but how long does it take to reply to an email

Indeed it is just need to build the diffs and it can go together permanently, this will have the blue belts as it will be a shelfer. I am putting a NIP LAW-12 in it. The tensioner I got from you is going on my second used vintage twill weave tub, part of my order with Stephen is some twill weave parts for that project

I have sent Stephen a few emails so I don't want to send any more I am sure he will answer when he gets a chance though I need some of the parts soon as I am building a modified ZX-R for a friend as a Christmas Gift all the parts for that and three other projects are being anodised at the moment

I really need to get onto my Ultima project ....
