Anyone ave a B1 input they want to sell? I bought 2 XR's but neither would fit.

All the new gimbal bearings are the xr style. Should have red dot.

Snap,
With that input shaft you dont have to worry about the gimbal bearing or trim limit spacers. As Poker said the gimbal bearing is now only offered in the new version, been around for a lot of years.

And yes, you have the XR gears, so you have an after market yoke with the large shaft going through the XR pinion gear, but it use the small ujoint from the B1 shaft. Probably an Imco yoke from back in the day.
