 Posted: Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:33 pm Post subject: Drive bands |
 |
|
I have now aquired a few workshop tools and lineshafts. However, I do not have a single drive band between them!
So I could do with about a dozen drive bands of various lengths and as usual I am looking for the cheapest way of obtaining these!
So if anyone has any spare, or can recommend a good supplier, it would be appreciated!

5.95pound for 5.
Not sure if it's the cheapest, but it definitely is when combined with overseas postage.

I wouldn't get the unjoined ones...
Maybe get a few from a TE1a for the tools then a longer one from an SW1 for the engine to lineshaft?

Just out of curiosity MM, why not the unjoined ones?
1 unjoined band is the same length when connected as my TE1.

They are just a little arkward that's all  I've had one of mine come apart once... just easier with the complete drive bands don't you think?

Yeah, you are probably right. Haven't had any come apart, but then haven't used em yet either 
They are a pain at times to join. But one of mine stood the test of strength when my daughter tried to put it over her head 
Didn't get far, they tangle in hair real well. It did distort a little The band, not her head

Sorry it's not under Ebay guys, but thought this would be a good spot?

This could be good
