Title: Collets?
Post by: tonyH on February 16, 2009, 10:56:43 pm

Evenin' All,

I need to limit the lengthwise movement of a long 4mm propshaft in a short tube. Can anyone advise where I can get the collars that lock on to the shaft with grub screws.

Many thanks

Tony

try technobots, but most good model shops stock brass ones for wheel collets

Many thanks for the help to both of you and especially for the kind offer, Mark but Technobots do 4 for 97p and I needed other stuff to make up their minimum order.
