I was not sure where to post my question. I have a taper at the end of a crankshaft that (if I did this right) I measured a change of 2mm in diameter over the length of 10mm. The large end is 22.5mm in diameter. I have a CTV clutch that has a taper of 1mm per 10mm length. The large end is 30mm in diameter. I have to admit that even with the best tools I am challenged to do this right. I had hoped to find someone who may make adapters by searching online. I think I have it worked out to turn the adapter. The first crankshaft failed because the smaller taper did not fit properly (the clutch actually wobbles on the crank when pulled from side to side). I realize already that it may take me several tries to turn both tapers correctly to make the adapter. I have a 9"Southbend and am making a boring bar to do the ID of the adapter.
The adapter looks similar to this:

I bought the project as a basket case in 1993 and I finally have the time to work on it. The crankshaft failed and the owner had given up on it.
Any help is deeply appreciated.
