Hey mate, just wondering what you'd call the socket piece, the ring with the stationary centre core, I need something similar for a project I'm working on, I just don't know what to search to find them on the internet, and hobby and model shops out my way are few and far between.

Thanks for your help

Hi, The part I used was a 4mm clevis - from RS components. Pretty much everything else is hand made from metal. Actually you could substitute plastic and slightly adapt the design to suit. Either way will involve some accurate filing and sanding. The outer rings could also be plastic tube cut into a thin section. Hope that helps.
