Amateurs trying to service flex couplers. DONT!

I used to have a bunch of nose bridges but ever since the line gear tool came out ....I went through all of them.....

send me some of the mangled ones you are hoarding.

I just found it. That seller is in Spain and will probably offer you some $$ back instead of paying for the return shipping.

I’d open the return right now.

But I don’t think I’d take a partial refund. Finding a nose bridge is gonna be a pain and even harder to find one that matches the finish.

i can usually repair nose bridges. i have done a few that were bent pretty severely. i have not yet tried welding one in and milling out the needed areas but if someone has a ruined bridge i could give it a whirl.

Sucky. How much did they get you for?

I paid 200 bucks, which was a decent deal if the nose bridge wasn’t trashed. The bridge being bent doesn’t bother me, because I can fix that. The crack beside the rivet hole is what sucks. And of course none of us know the true alloy mix in these, so I’m apprehensive to try to tig it with titanium filler metal. I mean really, I can throw them a drawer and hope a nose bridge pops up. Shipping back to Italy is probably a PITA.

I emailed and he responded, but the response isn’t translated...
Anyone want to translate?
