I've seen literally hundreds of this type of coupling.

Some have individual "buffers", like the M3W type, and others have a type of "spider" arrangement where the resilient elements are joined together.

They're a perfectly good device and generally give good service.

Unfortunately the one in the M3W is inadequate.

It would be interesting if someone could advise the overall dimensions and we could then see if alternative resilient couplings are available.

This is surely better than retaining the current setup which is patently not up to the job and is also a PIA to change.

It may be that the current coupling is the only one that MMC could find that fitted, although I doubt it.
