Thats what I've been saying for awhile. Helidirect misleads us by saying things like "drop in replacement", "made for the BCP", etc. I don't buy from them unless noone else has it.

If they would just tell the truth that the part needs to be modified that would be no problem. Thats what we do! Modify stuff.

Oh ya! Strong steel shaft my *****! That thing is like a wet noodle. At least you can bend it back into shape without removing anything. Just grab it and apply a little pressure in the opposite direction of the bend. I want to see the engineering data that shows that this shaft is stronger than the stock one. I won't hold my breathe though - I'd wager that there was never any testing done to support this claim. Its all bull!
