![]() 388 forum posts 137 photos | Moving on with my gas engine (Centaur) and not wishing to make 3 of them I was searching the internet and didn't come up with anything small enough. Something about 3/4inch body diameter. Any ideas on where such I might source them? Alan |

They are not that hard to make but if you want to buy Debolt have a few suitable model size ones. This sort of setup should be fine on yours |

![]() 388 forum posts 137 photos | Thanks Jason, must admit the cups on the crank do look good, guess they have a pretty small hole through? I like Debolts range of fittings in general, just a shame they are not over here! I will get in touch with them thanks. Alan |
