I have some radios that I would like to use a different knob on but the shaft is usually about a 1/4 inch too short. does anyone have a reliable method of extending a shaft a short amount and maintain stability and strength ? You get a shaft coupler. It's a piece of thick-walled tubing with holes drilled and threaded. Put one end over an existing shaft, and then tighten the screw that goes in the threaded hole. Then you put another shaft at the other end, and likewise secure it. I have no idea where to get them nowadays, though there must be plenty floating around in junk boxes. Your problem, though, might be wether you can fit one into whatever radio you need it. Assuming this is a fairly recent model, there may not be enough space to get the shaft coupler in, since it is wider in diamater than the existing shaft. Michael |
