Please note: a 40% deposit is required before starting all orders to offset material costs, and any initial shipping correspondence required.

Upon order completion: Orders must be paid for upon completion, if no response from purchaser within 30 days after second notice the items will be sold and deposit forfeited.

Information required: It is not necessary (nor preferred) that you send us your existing parts. What is necessary is that we obtain accurate dimensions with which to assure your new flyer fits and performs as it should.

This may be done in two ways:

-Accurate measurements taken by customer, using a dial caliper accurate within .001 inch. (metric measurement also accepted). (PDF file with instructions is forthcoming)

-In the absence of the above we can supply our "Flyer substitute tool" with which your dimensions (flyer shaft mating sizes, whorl and bobbin side to side position) can be set on your wheel. We will send you the tooling for this, you set it up and save the positions, then send it back and we will make the flyer to the specifications you have set the tool for.

(PDF file with instructions is forthcoming)

 

Currently we are only offering Double Drive type flyers, as shown in pictures above

These are common to most American, European and Canadian wheels.
