Radial Drive Wheel/Shaft Tolerance
I am replacing my Edson 800-8 Radial Drive Wheel which has suffered from galvanic corrosion after 24 years. The drive wheel is anodized aluminum and the rudder shaft is stainless steel tube--3/8" thickness. The drive wheel is a two piece split construction with a 1/4" stainless bolt through the shaft and 1/4" bolts that connect the two pieces. The "off the shelf" ID of the radial drive is 2.860". The OD shaft measurement is 2.850". Is .010" critical in this split installation for maximum mechanical integrity? Are there any serious drawbacks if the tolerances are not exact? If so, what? All responses will be greatly appreciated.
