The MMC need to look closely at some of the so-called engineers and designers they employ.

With your own modifications my only concern would be that the fitted polyurethane inserts will reduce the shock absorbing property of the Centa coupling and in time may start to deform.

If they do I'm sure you'll find a solution for that too thumbs

I look forward to reading more on your developments.



I could not agree more with your sentiments. I have opened up the ends of the inserts with a vee cut out to absorb a bit more of the intense shock and allow a more gentle take up. Even before I did this there was absolutely no sign of wear in either inserts or the recesses in the rotors. After 7,000 miles the original barrels were already shedding dust.
