Custom lower Shafts for CTX3030.
Now just waiting on the standard ML style bolts to arrive; to finish the order...
One handed job, so a bit more stress than I would have liked... See the finger claw in action - no thumb action or movement allowed... LOL. So need to get out and have a swing... 3 weeks to go and with luck the bone graft has taken and cast can be cut off.
Lathe work making end pieces and polishing the CF shaft down to the correct size; took so much longer than I expected.
Still, I think the new owner of these, should be extremely happy with what he gets, due to;
1: added length ( ~75mm),
2: light weight,
3: better cable restraint management (cable access is just off TDC)
4: no Locating lug = allows you to position as you like and some find this a nice feature. AND
5: endpiece is not solid and thus washing and cleaning of any stray sand or materials inside the shaft, is still simple....
I looked at an off the shelf endpiece, but they appear to be all solid (Anderson Shaft as well - from what I can see in some pics) and I did not want samd and heavy black minerals getting compacted and trapped.
As these are ONE of specials for those that want extra length and the manufacture is one of a hobby, there are no Jigs or CNC or molds used and thus each one is a one of a kind
Have had a couple of requests, but for me it is about helping someone out; where there is no other option... So while it is a hobby it is relaxing and about covering costs not making Dollars. And if your outside of Australia = Postage can be a real PITA.
PS. If any one can get 31mm square CF with 1.5mm walls = LET me know ASAP....
