[Amps] shaft couplers and extensions

[Dave Baxter]

Model engineering shops?  Those that deal in parts for gas engined miniture racing cars?

For real light duty (next to no torque) some heavy gauge plastic tube (coax outer sheath?) pushed over the ends of 1/4" shafts, often works OK, insulates, and has a modicom of flex.  Good as a temporary fix, if nothing else.

Oddball stuff is getting harder to find these days!
I'm looking for a few shaft extensions, couplers, flexible  couplers, right
angle shaft couplers and the like for my current  kluge amp project.  I
used to have a variety of them, but they've been used  or given away or grown
up and left home or been lost in moves.  I've looked  in the Grainger and
small parts online catalogs, but I'm not seeing anything for  what used to be
standard 1/4" shafts, just big stuff.  Any suggestions  for?
