See anything in error on my CVT/Jackshaft assembly so far..Thanks
"Question the weak backplates..Are they inherently weak?"
Most of the backplates of the CTV's are die cast aluminum. The ones I have seen have a casting flaw called a knit line, and that is where they break.
Your jackshaft set-up should negate the side load that causes the back plate to fracture. Nice work you got going carbine.
