Hello folks, I have the aluminium short flexible coupler for my Sharp Sky Pro unit. Currently it has a 2mm hole in the end. I want to fit it to my swapped Vixen VC200L focuser and the shaft is 9mm with a cambered end. David from SharpSky kindly offered to do it for me as it needs to be done on a pillar drill carefully or a lathe, but as he is in the UK I wondered if there are any machinists that could do it for me?
Literally it's just expanding the hole to 9mm so I can then slip it over the shaft and fix the unit in place.
I will pay postage and costs.
Many thanks
Graham.

Hi Graham,

I have a lathe here at Tinderbox. So, if you fancy the short drive one day we could do the job on the spot. Happy to do this at a time that suits you as I am home most days.

Drop me a PM if you are interested.

Cheers

Steve.
