Re: Different length rear axle shaft threads on either side?

If the axles "spin" inside the hub tapers one won't go very far.

A segmented (aka link) belt should work. You can adjust the length.

Re: Electric Fuel Shut off

If I was going to use the solenoid shut off valve I would put it under the dash, not in the engine compartment.

Re: Babbit replacement

Problem is I don't have any old rods or otherwise to melt the babbit out of.

I know that the "no lead" plumbing solder is fairly hard compared to 50-50 or 60-40 solder.

Babbit replacement

Would modern "no lead" plumbing solder work for babbit bearing repairs? Can't find new babbit locally.
