Default 3" Simms Coupling

I need a 3" Simms Coupling for a dynamo. I am not too sure what they look like and would be pleased to receive any information about them.

Unfortunately not, those are the adjustable vernier couplings for magneto drives. I think the couplings I need are more substantial. I will try to post a photo of the parts that do the driving.

We believe that this is the part:


The outer and inner components are metal, and the infill connecting piece (shown dotted and marked "e" in the top drawing) is rubber.

I have some new (old stock) couplings in work with Fenner Taper lock fittings. You are welcome to have one of these for the cost of the postage. I can see what I have on Monday. What shaft sizes are you coupling?

Cheers Carl.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to suggestions on this thread. I have now managed to obtain a coupling from Albert Smith who will be well known to several members of this forum. I attach some photos for your edification.
