Title: Stainless stell rod suppliers
Post by: monarch on August 03, 2009, 08:11:43 pm

Hi
I need to make a new propshaft inner shaft, I'm looking for 9/64" x 14" rod for an old 4BA shaft system but can't find anyone stocking these fractional sizes.
Can anyone please help, thanks in anticipation.

Try blackgates Or Reeves, both do Loco stuff. Make sure it is FREE cutting or you will have a H*** of
a job threading it.

this chap will sell you just the inner shaft taped to your own length..about £2.50  but you will have to email him as he is rebuilding the site
