Re: Shaft to flange connection...

I believe that the drilled hole is where the original bolt was sitting. the replacement was then. put into the key slot - not an ideal solution in my humble opinion - but I am more of a rig guy than...

Re: Shaft to flange connection...

Re: Shaft to flange connection...
