I do not have any distributors, yet. I do offer dealer pricing so that a shop could stock them. Everything that I send out is done with Global Priority which has been very effective and very reasonable. Customers contact me, I ship directly to the customer.
The "magic" is that you do not use the 1/4x3/8" hub bearing for thrust load any longer. The spacer picks up the outside of that hub bearing, provides some spring due to the plastic properties and it's then topped off with a thrust bearing. Yes, the thrust bearing did come from a gas car clutch. But it needs to be worked on a tiny bit. If they hold up in a gas car clutch, imagine how long it will be in your 12th scale diff.
Can a person make one of these? Sure. You need a lathe, delrin, some fancy Dremil bits and time. So many want instant gratification and will not want to go through the effort. Then there are a few that tinker just like I do trying to make things better. I sent a bunch of the raw materials to Japan. There should be a Japaneese version of my product available there.
