Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.  Attached are two photos of the thrust bearing mod performed on my 2.17:1 Ross PSRU. The fix was done by Dave Mix.  He can be reached at harborview@rivnet.net   As you know, each Ross unit is slightly different (machining tolerances, etc). Dave will measure your unit and recommend the best fix considering the shaft, end play, etc.  Given the amount of shaft/play on my unit, this was the best method of installing the thrust bearing. Some units will have enough room for two thrust bearings. I was very pleased with the quality of his work and the fast turn-around time.  When I find a good vendor, I like to pass it on. The cost for this mod was $225.00 plus shipping.  I consider this to be a small price to pay for peace of mind and reliability.  Hope this is of interest to other Ross owners.  Paul Conner, 13B powered SQ2000 under construction.
