    Well mate right here of coarse http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...oct-ocfhe8mm18 I have used them and they are good.
    On the subject of collet type shaft adapters I would realy like a 5mm to .78 wire drive. The grub srew ones suck. Always stuff the grub screw's and end up loosing the lot. The .62 ones are great please can some one make a .78 one
    Thats enough of my complaining for now

          Andy, i do believe that Jay T. has said that he gets his .062 ones bored out to .078(in a lathe).
          Go to your local machine shop, or if you've got a mate that can do it for you
          Set screws are a pain, but i'm not big on octura stuff Although they are the pioneers of pretty much everything

            Jeff only does the grub screw type. Have toyed with the idea of machining the smaller one, will have to give it a go. I realy like the .78 in my sport 20 with a 1515 1y and a trick m447.

              Sorry Andy, I thought you wanted scrub type (although reading back now, I'm not si sure)...
              if OSE does not sell it (.078 wire)... try any other Octura rep, I bought one from here some time ago, but it seems to be off the list.

                Octura is out of them. They said they will have them in 2-4 weeks.
