Re: NED HELP ON BUILDING 1 OR 2 SPEED GEARBOX

Those orange pieces are Lovejoy shaft couplings. They can be found here

I used these pretty extensively when I was on 100. They are very nice as far as shaft couplings go. They have a flexible rubber "spider" that sits between the two coupling pieces that allows slight misalignment of the two shafts. They worked extremely well in my experience. The only downside is that they are HEAVY. If you use anymore than a few, the weight will add up very quickly.
