501: Shaft Collar Requirements for the High Strength (0.25" dia) shafts
We are having issues with getting parts for the high strength shafts. I have found a shaft collar that is comparable to the ones that are used with the regular shafts but they have 1/4" ID and 1/2" OD. Here are the specs and a drawing for them. Is it okay for our teams to use these with the high stregth shafts? They provide for the same functional use as the ones that are provided by VEX when they are in stock.

No, this would not be legal.
