Nope, that one will never see another holeshot - makes a neat wall hanging, though -

The one I removed from my 1963 SWC had the splines rotated one notch. It now makes a good paper weight. With a little effort my spindle could have reached the same end result.Comment

Re: Does This Look Familiar?
When I was a kid I made a piece of art like that with my dad's car. He was wonderful, he never said a word; just got it fixed and put the bill up on the refrigerator and every time I got some money I would give it to him and subtract the amount. When I finally reached zero he took it down and threw it away, still without saying a word about the whole affair. I wish I'd kept the part and the bill.

Oh, Yeah it looks familiar but it was not from too heavy a foot I'll bet. It was from a seized bearing wasn't it? Gotta work on these old devils every once and a while.

No, it was from a heavy foot. I decided to dump the clutch @3500 to clean up the rear rubber. It broke, even with the bicycle tires! That was the right side, I'm waiting for the left side to follow.
Here's why I had the problem. Sometime in the past, bubba must have used a torch to remove the inner bearing race from the original GM spindle. He probably did the same to the other side. I rebuilt both T arms 2 yrs ago, reused the spindles 'cause they looked AOK, and set the bearing clearance to .002".
I replaced the broken spindle with a unit from International Axle. It is a very well made piece, and worth the extry scratch. As advertised, it has very little runout. It has been in the T arm for about 3 months. I would absolutely not replace with a GM piece, because they have excessive runout. Measured runout on the IA piece is .001" (at the stud radius), @ .0005" bearing clearance.
