Bruk posted:Norton posted:Another option is to remove the couplings and and use a U Joint like the Niagaras use. 9433 and 9434 Pittmans have a 4mm shaft diameter. 4 mm U joints are a couple of bucks on eBay. Worked on my Legacy Commodore Vanderbilt.
You can also easily change the length of a dog bone by cutting it in half and using a piece of brass tubing to hold the pieces together to what length you need.

I have thought about using those U-joints in other applications. Like moving the motor out of alignment with input shaft would be a great example. But past that I personally wouldn’t use it in this type of set up.
I have used the Brass tubing before to extend or shorten dog bones. In many different models and scales.
That’s all I do Bruk, use brass tubing and telescope it to make a nice fit....pack the tube with 3M panel bonder and let her eat in 30 minutes....polish the tubing for a nice effect....😉.......Pat
