Plenty of flexshafts on ebay from China, never had any problems with buying from China either . What size are you looking for is it a one piece setup  ?. Most US flex shafts and hardware is from China anyway so why not buy direct lol .

I have tracked some down in California $7.25 plus $14 p&p  Hyperprod.com.
A few of us run boats on the lakes in Glynneath S. Wales every Sunday around 11 a.m [weather permitting] all types of boat welcome. Be nice to see some new faces

OSE carry their version. Their shipping to the UK is very cheap, I get CNC props from them, only usually takes a few days.

Those CNC props at OSE along with most of their hardware and small parts are also from China  O0 . Buy direct from TFL or on ebay free shipping and zero import to pay on small items .
