    Hi Tyler,

    I did, I need a coupler that's body is less than 18mm in diameter it's for my SAW mystic 84.

    The couplers franz do are in my C5008 and 115 but they are beast's at over 22mm in dia.

    im running twin 1950's one is a new motor one is a second hand job that the original owner cut the shaft down a little hence needing to be of a certain diameter

    I know Jochen from MBP made the nice ones you are mentioning. However, he has closed up shop.

    Now that Tyler mentioned it, I know I had a pair of MBP wire drive couplers for a twin setup a few years back. I'll dig through the parts drawer and see if I still have them and what the dimensions were

    All of my wire drive collets are 5mm/2mm. I have a pair of Octura style collets that are very low profile, and I don't see why they couldn't be chucked in a lathe and bored out +0.5mm. The MBP collets I have are also 5/2, but are a little over 18mm in diameter.

    Thanks for checking,
    I do have access to a lathe but it’s maybe ‘beginner grade’ and this is going to be a 45k twin (loaded) setup..

    Struggling to dig up anything that’s 2.5mm to be honest
