[Sunbeam Talbot Email List] Need Clutch Plate Hub

[Dwight Dickson]

Bob,

Ramon had a pretty good idea with the hose/clamp on the input shaft end.

I assume that the overall length wouldn't be that long.  If you used a 
piece of hose the length you need, you could always clamp a hole saw 
with the same ID as the hose on the end opposite the input shaft.  That 
would chuck up in the drill just fine. If it wasn't too long, it 
shouldn't twist.
