kclark Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As you can see from my pics, my holes are elongated. Is there a standard pattern that is used, is it close enough or wing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 There was a thread somewhere recently where those discs were replaced with new. But was it Stude or Dodge Brothers? I can't recall. I'll have a search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Any suggestions on where I can get some new (not NOS) discs made up for a Light Six drive shaft? It takes a stack of three at each end. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that to replace them you will have to drill your own holes for wire and pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only solution for me is a razor knife and a punch. Not terrible to do one but doing six that way is a pain. Any suggestions on someone that offers this service? Thanks.

Scott Scott, I cut mine on my bandsaw. I made a template on my laser engraver with the size needed and I cut the inner hole and the 4 bolt holes. I then marked the outer size with my template and cut it on the bandsaw first. I then placed the template on the circle again and marked the center hole and drilled it with a forstner bit (I cut my inner hole at 7/8"). I then marked and drilled the 4 bolt holes with a 1/4" brad point drill bit. If anyone knows or can figure out the hole spacing and size (if it's different from mine), I don't mind lasering out a template for you to use.

Stude Light Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I have access to a bandsaw and have the Forstner bits so that may work out. I can probably use one of my current couplings as a template - they aren't too bad yet. Thanks for the help. Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some stock coming from him as well. He is also making the baseplate for my steering lever assembly. I know I had to finalize my order pretty quickly so that he could freeze the assets of his business before he completed the sale. Once the sale was complete he was going to let his customers know who bought everything so they would not be without. From what I understand the new owner will also be making the baseplates, levers, and door handles taking over all of that from Steven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
