Shaft to small

[goaliebob99]

I upgraded from a 90 CM to a 1.2M and I know the motor that I have can handle the new dish. The only issue is the shaft is too small as its a 44 cm and I need a 50 CM shaft for the new dish. Any ideas on what I can conjer up to make the shaft bigger. (No sexual pun intended, I know someone is thinking it )

Short of ordering a new motor, I'm not sure what I could do.

Not sure which motor that you have, but several models have interchangeable posts. Before you purchase a new motor, check with the motor reseller for possible post upgrades.

Slit a piece of pvc pipe and put it on your post to take up the slack?

PVC Shaft Adapter

This works good from Stab 90 to P* bracket. 1 1/2" and 2" PVC slit and a horizontal bolt thru the motor shaft about 3" long.
