Thanks to all who responded on this, including the pics from Power British. A
little more than I want to build just to do a five minute test, but showed me
it's
just a matter of putting an electirc motor of some sort on either the input or
output of the tranny.
But now one more question. If I just go the BFD (big frikkin' drill) on the
input
shaft route, which direction do I have to spin the input shaft? I want to test
the
OD while it's mounted on the tranny and know it's a really bad idea to run the
OD
in "reverse", (one way clutch can implode?) so which way do I spin the shaft to
not
destroy my freshly rebuilt J-type?
