Aristocraft U Boat Motor Universal Joint Grub Screws

[electricity_bill]

Hello again
My U Boat was not driving on one axle and when I took off the motor block cover I found out why. The brass universal coupling was spinning on the motor shaft as the grub screw had failed. The thread looks OK but does anyone know where I can get these minute grub screws from?
Does anyone know the thread size?

Try an email to Aristocraft - on personal issues like that they can sometimes come up trumps

Thanks for that. My email to Navin at Aristo went yesterday. I was just hoping that there might be a supplier this side of the pond.

Stick it with loctite bearing fit, no need for grubscrew.

Never thought of that. Is it available from Halfords?

Result!!!!!
Got it from Halfords and it works. The U Boat should be running by the time the frost disappears.
Thanks

It's good stuff.
We use it to stick bearings, bearing shims, gears.....anything that needs
holding in place really. It gap fills to a certain limit.
When applied right it won't pull apart whatever pressure is applied.
