Raising Volvo AQ questions

[murfman]

You could get Strange to do it, they're in your backyard. Other options could be Moser or Mark Williams. Might be interesting to drive over on your lunch hour and ask. It'd probably be worth the $ to a bunch of people.

I have better sources than Strange. Strange is set up do do rear axles. I have a couple of shops I deal with that make headsets and shafts for transmissions and transaxles.

i have done calibration work for Strange , and their facility is top notch. I'm sure they have the capability and equipment to make shafts for the Volvo but their shop is set up to run production on automotive rear axles and parts. They really don't have the man power to do one off type pieces. They are geared up (lol) to do quick turnarounds and production of one product.

How would these work?

I was told that my Mecruiser to Volvo prop shafts were made by Ron Hills prop shop but not available anymore. Back in the 70's there were shops all around the Detroit area that made made one of Volvo drive parts, Kenny Blacks shop Muskie Tool was one of them. [ no longer in business ] Today it would be very hard to find a shop to do that most are set up for high volume production.

I have one of those prop shafts sitting on a shelf for years. Just last year I decided it was time to do something with it. Got a 270 drive ripped down and then noticed that the shaft is for a Volvo 250. Everything was just a little smaller. Now it's back on a shelf.

Don't see the advantage of raising the cavitation plate above the bottom you will then airate the prop the bonus will be never enough to make it worth while.
I did that originally before I did my restoration and had nothing but cavattion issues being an inch above.
