Garrett shaft swap

[Jimgoddard]

I have been told that the AT Pro top shaft will fit onto the Ace middle shaft. Is this true? If so the Ace Mtng holes can be drilled into the AT shaft and solve the problem of short positioning of the arm cuff. I am assuming that the AT upper shaft is longer. Can anyone verify?

Yes the shafts are the same diameters, and are swapable.

I talked with Garrett about the shaft swap and was told that the AT Pro shaft was only about 1 & 1/4" longer than the Ace shaft. So I talked with our local Vocational center about making the Garrett Gizmo for me and he agreed if I supplied the aluminum round stock. I found a source for the material and he will have his students make it for me. I don't know if they would be willing to make more than one, but if possible, I will get him to make at least four. I'll keep the site posted with the results.
