I guess that the problem are the halfshafts. After...

and

and

... I have ended up to the final (I hope so...) solution like this:

I hope that these pictures give some ideas. My own conclusion is that the
initial design of the tapered fitting of the flange is just bad and either the
strength of the original ouput flange itself is no good for racing either. This
latest solution includes billet type solid shrink fitted flanges and halfshafts
of a bit larger diameter. These have lasted now at least 2 races...

PS. In racing use the original halfshafts _will_ break, sooner or later...
