What needs to be done to run a 88-89 cover with an earlier shaft? It looks like if I had a narrower spacer it would work fine, does anyone know of anyone who makes a spacer or what I can do to make this work. thanks

I might be missing something, but you shouldn't need anything. My understanding is the spindles/shafts are all the same for all years. On the later year cases the spacer was integrated into the cover instead of being separate.

Best regards

I don't know about the shafts but the gear is different. I was inquiring about this a couple years ago. If I remember, I think if using the 85-87 kicker assy. with 88-89 cover you would still need a spacer but shorter (don't know what length). here is a pick of the two gears 85-87 on right 88-89 on left.

You would need a spacer the difference between the 2 gears that you are showing. It would be converting the one with the short collar to match the one with the long collar that is used on the 88-89 covers.

Thanks for all the replies! Dirtyd, do you have those 2 gears in your garage? If so would you measure the difference in width...my speculation is its about 12mm wide? Or maybe you would sell the later gear? Thanks for any help!

sorry I can't sell or get you the measurement, it is being used in my quad.

The tall one measures .605" the short one .211". The difference is .394" or 10mm
