After making the shaft true I had to put a needle roller thrust bearing on the end to hold the shaft in position to allow a small amount of end float. The first picture showes how I added a layer of harder alloy to the piece of aluminium that will become the bearing location. The next pic is it finished. And then located.
I had a hardened steel bearing washer that had to be fixed to the inside of the Mini drive shaft bearing housing. Before I could locate it I had to machine the housing. Holding the housing in the lathe chuck was a challenge.
