Looking for 4mm x .062 coupler

[dahodevil]

I have a Leopard motor 4mm and .062 wire drive and can't find a coupler for it. Any help is appreciated.

Could you use a 4mm to 3/16 prop shim, and use a 3/16 coupler? Idk if that would make it easier.

[dahodevil]

good suggestion. I will search for that.

I can only find the coupling in 4mm or 5mm motor shaft to fit the .062 wire drive. If I could find a 4mm ID to 5mm OD shim. Hope it would be centered if I use a shim.

If you cant find a coupling then get in touch with Jeff Wohlt at www.rcraceboat.com & he will make you a set screw type coupling to suit what ever size you need.

Yes, I got the wire drive from him awhile back. I'll get in touch with him. I did find K & S brass tubing 5mm Od and 4.1mm ID. you think that would work?

[Jeff Wohlt]

Yes, I can make it for you.

Jeff. I've been eyeing the mini lathes for years and I just pulled the trigger. I should be able to make one but if I fail I'll be contacting you. Are you willing to give me any pointers?
