Morning all...
Right..i need to install a rose joint on a gearbox gear selector arm originally intended for a ball and socket type connection ..the first picture shows the ball on top of a tapered shaft....now my plan was/is to cut and remove at the bottom of the tapered shaft..pencil show the bottom...and drill and tap the shaft to accept a threaded shaft for the rose joint to sit over and be bolted down.....i don't think there is a way of holding the shaft in situ to be drilled...or I will have to remove the shaft from the gearbox...any advice would be greatly appreciated..hope this makes sense.......
The shaft is 14mm thick....
