Flexible couplings

[pampas]

Has anybody fitted a flexible coupling to a 10 Hp Sabb engine, what sort and did you need to have a bobbin made, I cannot find any that have a pcd of 90mm, plenty with the correct bore and spigot. I like the R&D tpye as I am constrained for space, arn`t we all. Heres hoping that somebody has trodden this path before. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have recently fitted a new(secondhand) engine to my Westerly and I used a Vetus Bulflex flexible coupling. It came with very clear fitting instructions and was very simple to fit. The coupling certainly works, a lot of vibration and noise has gone, though admittedly a lot of that could be the new engine, but generaly speaking I felt it was £185 well spent. Hope this is some help.

many thanks, I think that I will go that route Pampas.
