I know Octura does not I talked to them 2 weeks ago. I also am interested in some of the square drive collets but need 3/16. I have 1 that was given to me.

I know Lenny Blake @ Rum Racing Products can help you out with square drive collets. and can probably steer you toward your cable request's

Aeromarine does single end cables. He also does square collets

Mark Stein just changed his Mutt SP40 to that system, I'll get him to chime in here.

Gas motors can't take it on the chin like nitro, eh?

Hyperformance Products can make the cables.

Bob Tuttle/ namba276 can make up square drive cables to your length/specs. Not sure if he does 1/4", though. He also can supply the hardware for square drive systems.

Pretty sure that's where Mark got his...

Lenny gets stuff from me...I can square .150, .187, and .250 I have some collets and ferrules for .250...however, I sell more .187 than anything else so I may not have the proper collet to fit your engine...give me a shout. 831-419-3050

Thanks, Bob

Octura have made a 1/4" x 36" both end square drive cables and i brought some in past few years. Quality and prices are both great!

Bob squared my 1/4" cable for my CMB 27 Alpha. He did a good job with a real quick turnaround!

 

[Stuart Barr]

Thanks for all the quick responses and calls. Got fixed up with products. If these don't work, Bob, I am going to call you.

Thanks,

Stu

Stu,

I promise you won't find any better cable or square ends than the ones that Hyperformance does. The cable they use is one tough cable and the squares are perfectly centered and the windings at the transition are not all spaced apart and weakening the cable.

A friend had a few made by Warehouse Hobbies who claimed they can square cables and they all had to be thrown away they were done so horribly. Square wasn't centered. Windings were all opened up at the transition. Just garbage.

I think I still have one laying around.

Worthless brand new squared cable,

Daniel,

Out of curiosity, did you try one of those cables you have pictured? Or are they garbage because they looked no good?

Kris,

The square was so far out of center and actually had a pressed in bend to the square in relation to the round cable.. Those outer windings with all the gaps in them are all the strength of the cable. If you put those behind a strong 29.5 there is no question it would have knotted it up on the first lap.

No way I would put those in anything. It would have been wollering all over the place.

I wish I had one of the Hyperformance cables to show how nicely they are. And straight, true and centered.

Ahhh the offset bit I did not read! I agree you guys have some monster torque

so who sells a coupler for a CMB to a square shaft on a K&B outboard drive
