Your point is valid and has changed my mind. The stamped steel is what I will go with. I put some high temp wheel bearing grease on that shaft and it seems to work great.
Now we're cooking with gas!

The one I have is aluminum and looks just like the 2nd one you posted. Works fine. If money is tight I think for $32 less I would buy the 1st one. Either way using
A plate system you are going to need to install a reverse wound spring in the driven clutch. You won't have the space to flip it around. Very easy to do. About
$15 at OMB Warehouse. Probably available from other sources as well.

Thanks! I didn't even think of looking on ebay. That one is a bit cheaper and with free shipping. It's also exactly what I was looking at. When I get paid I'll have that on the way. Thanks!For Go Kart Torque Converter 40 Series Kit- Fit Predator Dune 420CC GX 390- 5/8" | eBay

Hijack alert. Why its a good old Wangluo 11. You remember those don't you. I think wanglu might just be related to saw glu. Actually a killer price for a 40 series converter. And I'll bet all three are made in the same factory.

Do you whink the 14 tooth will work ok with a 48t and 18 inch tires? A 48t is the biggest I can fit between the axle and frame unless I move the mount down.

Absolutely not!

What would I be able to do with my gears then? I don't exactly want to modify the frame or include a jackshaft. If it comes down to it I would rather move the axle mount than add a jackshaft.

Then you answered your own question. 10:54 is the highest I would go.

10 48 worked well with the 212, but I guess the big blocks are a whole different animal lol. I do have an extra set of axle hangars that came with my bearings from gopowersports, so I have some material to work.with.

Most all converters come with a 10 tooth sprocket. Why would you want to use a 14 tooth. That is way too tall of a gear ratio. 10 x 48 MIGHT work. It will depend on the type of terrain. Specifics are few in that add, but I see something about 5/8". Most 40's have a 3/4" jack shaft. If that has a 5/8" shaft,
while being on the light side, you can get a 8 tooth sprocket for it. 8 x 48 would give you the 6:1 ratio you want. 10 tooth is the smallest made for 3/4".

The one I was looking at on Amazon came with a 14t, so I can only assume the ebay one comes with 14t also. Once I get it ordered and here I will look into sprockets and gearing, but for now I'm not gonna get too carried away with speculation. If I'm lucky I might be able to fit a 50 or 52t under there, but the sprocket would be scary close to the frame and would be a sad day if it threw the chain. I am probably gonna lengthen the axle hangars to get more chain clearance anyway.

Stick one a dem rubber chain guides in there.
Scary close is about .010 inch.

My 208 is a torquey little thing that should probably have a 40 series on it at this point. I can tell you that it will turn 18×2.5 motorcycle tires with a 4:1 gear ratio (9/36) and it will haul *** like that up to about 40mph without ever shifting the Tav2 more than a quarter in (1:1 range) but it's absolutely hell on the belt.
All the same set up swapped to 6.22:1 (9/56) it takes off like a spooked deer and is actually quicker... enough to bring the nose up if I'm feeling froggy.
I couldn't get the 9/48 combo (5.33:1) to line up properly due to the sprocket design.

I'll figure it out. I can move the axle to make more room for a sprocket, bit I just woild prefer not to.

I am trying to figure something out for front wheels so when the clutch comes in I can take her for a spin. I have some turf saver 2 wheels and tires, but no bushings the right size and bearings won't fit. I was thinking about drilling holes in the rims and using some cnc spindles I have. Would that work atleast for temporary?

Im not exactly sure, i had some that were close. If I had to guess it would probably 1 inch od with 1/2 inch ID. The ID I am sure of, but the OD is the guess.
