Hi all, I am trying to get hold of, Greg who made the Gmorty gas legs.
I need replacmentflex shafts. The email I have for him dosent seem to work,
does anyone have contact details, for him or another source for shafts?

Cheers Shane.

the email I have is [email protected] you could also try OZ RCBoat Supplies and ask for help as I am pretty sure they are in the same area. This question popped up recently, Greg is still around. You could also ask Dom (YPC) or take a length measurement and try a few of the leg suppliers. Joe at Zippkits may be of some help, I will keep looking

Ed Mazzola on IW is an autherised HUGHEY shaft dealer, says he can get any size you want. if you can find an engineering place that can square the ends, all you need is a length of good cable(look for the one with the gold strand through it).

Thanks, that email is the same one I have,no reply so far. Thanks for the other options.
I have been trying to find some one, local but no luck so far. Things are sill abit difficult here,
in Christchurch New Zealand after the earthquaks, with companies either closed or moved.

Cheers Again

I will see Kris Flynn on sunday at the lake and see if he can help you out as he makes shafts, but has not done any for the gas stuff just nitro. Yes it must be hard for you over there after the what seemed daily quakes you guys had. Have they stopped yet? If you get super stuck and cant get any and cant run your boat, pm me and I will send you mine from my gmorty lower to get you back on the water as I am running my other leg now until the sun comes out and I paint my other hull.
All the best,
Dion.

Thanks for your help. I have one shaft left, so ok for now. Just put a k30 on the gmorty, still running in but showing promise!
have a look at my post in gas inboards for the other 2 that im working on.
The shaking keeps on going but getting less all the time. Then you get a bigger one just to remind you who in charge! (its not us)

Shane,
I just went down to the shed and checked some cables, and I would go with one of Doms longer shafts as it is only about 1.5mm shorter than the gmorty cable I have. I have a couple of YPC shafts and the one that looks like it is what you need is 171mm long.
Good luck,
Dion.

Jackal1983

how long is the g morty shaft?

the ypc legs is the same shaft as the lawless..

Thanks for the link but it looks like the lawless shaft may be too short.
Just measured mine and its 168mm long and f1tunnel said his is171mm.
Cheers Shane.

Write a mail to Tony from WareHouseHobbies ... he can make you any length of squared cable. (USA-quality)

If you want the German Sühner cable with the golden-strand ...

I have a German-buddy that can make you square's @ 5Euro p/sc.

I can arrange to send a one-side squared to him , and let Thomas of [link=http://www.matho-powertrain.de/index_en.html]Matho-engines[/link] do the other side.

F1TUNNEL

Jackal, the gmorty shaft is 1.5mm longer than the long 171mm YPC shaft which makes it 172.5mm. There are a couple of YPC shafts available, depending on what collet you use with th lower. You can also get the Lawless shafts direct from Fred, I suppose it depends where you live as to what is most convenient.
The short YPC shaft I have is 160mm.
Cheers,
Dion.

hi guys

i have a gmonty leg on my f1 and got my shafts of colin at ozboatsupplies they are good so far and not a bad price see if he can help you.

trickeyf12

Thanks I just sent them a email. They would be the closest option.
Cheers.

F1TUNNEL

Colin will sort you out with no probs!!!

HendricX

Nope ... no trouble at all .. only takes 2 emails :-)

I'll order 2 square [link=http://www.cmbengines.de/index.html?d_FW4KN_Flex_Welle_6_35R2_mit_Vierkant_ normal1409.htm]Sühner-cables at MTL[/link] .. and let Manfred send these to Thomas. .... 11€ a piece and 10€ shipping

Thomas will do 10 squares (as on the cable is one) for 50€ , and ship it to you.

As the cables are 720mm long ... you'll get 3 out of them ... total 6 spares for about 120€ incl. shipping

You can mail in English with Thomas.

Hi Guys I have been out of touch for the last few days. (no wifi)
Seems that colin cant help so I think that Hendrix I will go with your offer thanks.
Let me know what i need to do.

Thanks Shane.

F1TUNNEL

Good choice Shane! Doms are a little cheaper in price and made if you cant wait. I also have that one on my desk if you are desperate.

HendricX

Send me a email , to confirm that I order those square-flexcables for you.

I'll pay Manfred , and send you the invoice , so you can PayPal me.

The dealing with Thomas you can do yourself , but I'll inform Thomas that you're going to contact him.

EDIT : Just seen in another thread that Thomas is on this forum too (as MATHO) , just PM him.

MATHO

Shane, I have just cut, pressed and grinded the 6 cables plus a7th one made of softer material (as present to compare), will ship by tomorrow.

Thomas
