Title: small couplings
Post by: bbdave on November 03, 2011, 09:36:55 pm
Hi i am looking for some small diameter couplings they're not for a prop shaft i'm sure i've seen some small brass ones somewhere but just can't remember where or who was selling them even a ball dogbone type could do i do need a definate pivot point.

 but they can only be around 7mm O.D.

Try the model car section of your hobby shop, they have some very nice small drive joints.Looking at the date this may be a bit too late, but still O/K for someone else. Mick B.
