hey guys,
does anyone know where i can find a flex collet that fits a 5x .8 mm [im not sure if the 5 is the length, or if 5x.8mm is the diameter] shaft on one end, and a 1/8" flexshaft on the other??
any links or names would be appreciated.

thanx Ron.......propjockey found a flywheel that should work, still trying to work it out w/ the shaft diameter, so i probably wont have to go through curtis keeth for anything. hobbytown USA, that place you [i think it was you, it was a while back] said carried octura parts is STILL under construction [the site, i mean] so i havent been able to check it out.....my boat's "undergoing extensive rebuilding and strengthening" in the form of a new set of sponsons right now, engine's still in the mail, so i've got plenty of time to order the drive stuff and all the other stuff from Tower.
thanx for all the help w/ the boat/engine, i'll be sure to let you know [and show you] how it turns out.....it should be pretty interesting!!

If you can't find the parts, call Gary Preusse at 630-279-2451. He probably has the parts in stock, if not he is not far from the Octura plant in Skokie, Ill. Gary also has or still does hold the speed records for the "A" outriggers in the IMPBA.
