[QUOTE="dieselnutjob, post: 719905, member: 47318"] and then there were three [IMG]http://www.christiantena.net/images/DSC_4648.JPG[/IMG] parts... I don't know what kind of monkey metal these things are made of. It snapped just trying to clamp it in a holder so that I could drill it :( Anyway I found some 1.7mm hardened steel rods in my garage (from my teenage years making RC model aircraft). I think that I will drill the 1.5mm holes that the shaft spins in out to 1.7mm, and also drill a 1.7mm hole in each cog and mount it on the rod and use that. I can get ordinary electronics type solder to stick to the steel rod but it doesn't seem to much like the original Nikon shaft and cogs. I might have to just epoxy them on and hope. 1.7mm drill ordered on Amazon for delivery tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
