Tenshodo Repacement SD-9 Drive Shaft
Posted by chocks43 on Monday, May 4, 2009 10:55 AM

Hi,

I'm looking for an authentic Tenshodo SD-9 replacement driveshaft. I was considering using the body of a ball point pen. I just saw a Tenshodo SD-9 Loco on Ebay, These Locos are still out there. Can someone lead me in the right direction.

Look at Grandt Line and NWSL U-joint kits. They have several sizes of U-joints in them. You can add brass tubing or rod to make just about any size drive .

I'm a little confused (not unusual with me tho... Big Smile )

 Do you want "an authentic Tenshodo SD-9 replacement driveshaft" or just a replacement driveshaft?

Big difference.  For an authentic Tenshodo SD-9 driveshaft, to keep the model totally stock and maybe its value, then e-bay may be the only way.  Else do the NWSL route to get some parts to put together a new drive.  Might as well do the entire drive with can motor and flywheels at the same time.
