Almost ready to align and place engine back into the boat. The coupler between clutch and prop shaft was very difficult to remove and I needed to cut it to remove. It was in very poor condition as the picture attest. Does anyone have one in good condition I can purchase? Or is it best to have another one made in an engineering shop?
Thanks, John |

Agree cut off to protect shaft is best. For a donation the volunteer engineers at Sydney Heritage Fleet could produce a coupling probably in steel as you have a high torque motor. Pattern + casting or machine from cast iron stock also possible. James Craig Road Rozelle Bay. Best days Tuesday + Saturday. Ask for Ian, Tim, David or Andy. Need shaft to get bore size. |

John, Good advice and I will get there this Tuesday and chat to the guys. I also have a guy I know who can make a new one from Stainless Steel, but will go with the Sydney Heritage Fleet guys first. Would love to meet them.

Andy, thanks for steering me in the right direction. Meeting some of the team at the Sydney Heritage Fleet was great! I am please you gave me the big hint.
I recommend all others in Sydney to become a member of the Sydney Heritage Fleet. Great resource and something anyone with a classic engine should support. Link here: http://www.shf.org.au/
