It was machined to grip in the lathe chuck to machine the other side.
Yes can see that, but why not just put the shaft in the lathe with the hub assembled on, unless of course it wouldn't go into the lathe shaft? |

Bingo, you got it. Lathe wouldn't take half shaft.
As to further progress, I've just had a little spell in hospital for a minor op.
On the plus side it gave time for planning.
On the minus side, they get a little upset when you drag out the welder.

Started to clean up fibreglass mudguards today, why are there so many lumps?
Trying not to go through the gel coat and want to avoid tons of filler, and then tons of sanding.
I think a good undercoating and top coats with lacquer will do for now.
Should I stone chip the underside?

Got my swing arm frame delivered for the second time, following a return to sort out issues. Such as wrong length, despite emailing details. Also diff didn't fit within his metal work.
Any road, diff now fits. Alas, placing straight edge along where axle sits, I can get a 6mm drill under one end.oops. And the two arms where the axle sits are not parallel.
To say I'm slightly miffed would be an understatement.

Had a reply back from fabricator, Say it has moved slightly in transit.
I have made it quiet clear my qualifications in engineering.
My opening gambit was " ok, that's absolute nonsense".
Can't wait for the reply on this one.
