Hi. I've just tried offering up a used but perfecly good timing side drive shaft to a brand new Hitchcocks flywheel. The shaft, which is of course a taper fit, will not go all the way home. I haven't put the woodruff key in yet and I have only applied moderate torque but the thing stops solid at around 3/32nds short of where it should . The part description specifies that the shaft is to be "ground once fitted". I can't quite understand that bit. Is it normal practice to take the two parts to a machine shop and just let them get on with it?
