Clint, do you think you could make a matching shaft collar?

That would make a lovely set.

Here's a guy in the US that made just the flex fighters

Anything is possible Chris but its all about the numbers unfortunately. The clamp cost considerably more to make than it would have done if i had 20/30 and it would be the same for the shaft collars (or dropout savers Terry)

Singles are essentially prototypes and incure the expense associated  :'( Would love to have a hat full to hand out but unless i got some reasonable pre-order numbers not many would want to pay the extra.

The clamp cost me £48 for example though it would come down to about £25 if i had the numbers  :)

Now then, should i soft polish it (ie not super shiney) or leave the machined look?

Is this just a one off then Clint? or are you still gathering pre-orders for them? You know I would like 2 please mate  :daumenhoch:

Its just a one off at the moment Terry, i needed one to make sure the tollerances were right... and i wanted one anyway.  :)

Happy for people to put a marker down for one until we can amass enough bodies to make them reasonably priced :daumenhoch:
