Question


 

开云体育

Or actually two. I have a broken fiberglass rod for the vertical position control on my 466. Would there be any ill effects of replacing it with a wood skewer? They're the same diameter.

Second, will a 465B front cover fit a 466?
?

In my town I just run over to the florist and pick what I want from the
rods that they use in floral arrangements.
I don't know ( or care ) if these are fibreglass but they are
tough, cheap, and easy to shape using a grinder.
Please wear protective gear,? I don't think that the dust?
would be good for either your eyes or lungs.

I think they are 0.125 inch diameter. Hobby shops carry 1/8 inch carbon fiber rods that I have found to be non-conductive and it works for that shaft.
