Unusual Request :)

[Kris Flynn]

Outboard Guys (Gals) could you please let me know if you have any relatively good condition broken flex shafts? i can only really use them if the square part has been spun off...

I need them for my FE tunnel which i have to cut the shafts down about and Inch anyway...so anything with less than an inch removed could be usefull

let me know

Kris,

You can order 20 foot lengths from Octura for about $30. Many diameters available.

You might want to check your local speedometer shop. The one in our town can do the 3.5`s, even the square ends. Seems that is a standard size for cars.

Kris,

Try contacting Flexible Drive Agencies in Sydney. They sell different sizes and types of flex cable.

Kris,

I thought you were an apprentice fitter & turner? Making the square end dies would be pretty easy for you I would think!. B) B)

Do you have access to a mill and a few pieces of steel about 10mm thick?
