 Re: Parts??
Alot of us have built our own longtails and you can buy about anything at an auto parts store, granted you know what the part is called and the guy there understands it. Google has been a good tool for me on my build, ebay def. helps also. So stuff like the shaft, we just used cold rolled steel, took it to a machine shop, had em thread one side and key the other. Not much to it.

 Re: Parts??
If your just repairing parts of the frame, contact the manufacturer. I just bought a whole new shaft housing complete with bushings and everything for $330 through go-devil. I was going to have it made, but it was cheap enough to me to buy new/complete and not worry about individual pieces.

 Re: Parts??
I called and they sent me a parts list with prices. You do have to have a serial number to buy from GD, not sure about MB, but I would call and see.

 Re: Parts??
MB would sell you their soul if they could make a buck on it. GD won't sell you any parts for a motor unless you own a GD.
