[U]I am going to run the jolly with the dpr installed next Tuesday night. We will see what I can pull out of that. Steven will you be addressing the 6mm to wire drive coupler issue? I am currently trying to locate a machine shop in my area. I hate like hell to try and drill that coupler out. If I fubar it I am hosed .[/i]

Did you get my email? I sent you saying the wire in the jolly is .078 and I have 6mm to .078 couplers coming in a couple of days. If you wanted me to hold on the the motor until the coupler comes in?

[SJFE]

Got it. Shoot me an email when they arive. I will Shoot ovet the cash..I think I may need to add some bullet connectors also.

[ReddyWatts]

Steven will you be getting some 6mm thrust washers for these motors?

[wickedgmc]

looking for a coupler for this motor, need a 6mm to .187 any ideas? thanks

[ReddyWatts]

I am taking a 5mm flex coupler down to a machine shop and getting it drilled out to 6 mm. I will let you know how it works out.

Steven sells these.

Product ID: oct-ocfhe5mm187
Octura Coupler Flex Hex 5mm to .187 Cable


Price: $9.95

[Steven Vaccaro]

I think. The only 6mm ones I could source were the 3 piece kind. 2 washers with a center bearing section. These are fine but I liked the 1 piece a bit better.

I found a .250 to .187 coupler, thats pretty damn close to 6mm according to my calipers. Will it work?

[ED66677]

it won't work, .250 is 6,35mm so that's 14mil too big!

[ReddyWatts]

.250 inches is equal to 6.35mm. I would say that it is to big. It has to be perfectly centered turning at 30,000 rpm.

I had to order a 6mm bit. Cant find metric bits locally. I have a friend that is going to drill it out on a lathe. Hope it works.

I dont want to turn down the rotor to 5mm, since it might void any warranty from Steven???

I pull the flex shaft after each days run. I dont like the set screw coupler because the allen screw heads might wear out quickly. Dont like drilling those little suckers out.

[wickedgmc]

anyone able to find a 6mm to .187 adapter. Called a few shops today and they were not interested in helping me out so as of right now I have this beautiful motor and jacket and no ability to put it in my cat. Wonder how it would work in my supervee

[Steven Vaccaro]

It will sink a super vee. lol

Do you have a drill press? If you do what I did when I was in a pinch was drill a 5mm to 6mm the other day. Came out ok. Not as good as if I had a lathe.

If you are not in a major rush, say 1-2 weeks. I will be getting some.

[wickedgmc]

Yea I did not think it would work in my Supervee, why would it sink it? Just torque roll it or just too heavy?

I don't have access to a press at this time, I can wait a few weeks

[SJFE]

Weight I would guess...lol

[SJFE]

Steven will I have to drill new mount holes for this larger can?

[FE_Chris]

So any feedback on these motors yet? I want one!!!! :-)
