Re: WTB: Magneto drive unit, ie 2 flanges with flexible disc between
Are you looking for whole drive or just the couplings? If just the couplings might want to update your listing on what drive unit and magneto you are using. Also, if either are straight or tapered shafts.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas!

A simpler option to manufacture is the MATCO cross drive style coupling. This was basically a pair of 1” diameter hubs that mount to each side, and a short length of fabric reinforced rubber hose clamped between. Very simple and low profile. Will try to dig up a pic…
