dunno, what you got lol.

i really only need the keyway, the chain drive (ordered it from Powauto...) and my cable shifter is fubar'd (but i was going to make up a proper lever using my old transfer shifter)

The keyway is the slot machined into the shaft/pulley etc.

go to bunnings and buy a pack of bolts that fit along with a tube of loctite cause they undo and fall out

never seen a proper sheer pin in my life

yeah but if i asked "where do you get keys" some smart arse would say "mr minit cuts keys"

PCman, can you take some measurements of the keys you've got? esp thickness

the ones for the shaft appear to be 4.7-4.8mm i dont actually have any spare keyways but mesured there they fit in the uni join

id find a local mob and take a unjointi with you to get the correct keysteel

edit - the website above list a 4.76mm keysteel so thats prolly the way to go if you want to order online
