corrosion on fixed shaft in clutch...

[mattyg1405]

in my primary i noticed some corrosion on the fixed shaft that has worn small grooves in the nylon bushing... there has been no performance loss or anything loose or wearing in any way i just noticed it while tuning the clutch... what could i do to fix it ?

i was thinking this is an option but seems expensive for what it is that im using it for.....do these thing really have any benefits ? any problems?

I can't speak from experience and it seems like a nice piece that IMO would correct your issue with corrosion on the fixed shaft.

I don't really see any down sides except for maybe weight.

Also, it says it's balanceable with screws and washers but how would one go about doing that?

you could just simply use some krokus cloth on it and clean it up, while your using the sled its not going to rust up any, its when its stored that it will corrode/rust, so remove the belt at the end of season and give it a coat of light oil during storage, just wipe off with acetone or even brake clean at next season start. its not a big deal as long as the bushing isnt snagging it.
