Can you fit a Massoth sound axle to a Nicki & Frank S?
I can't see if the quadrant plates on the motion are screwed into the axle centre or not and don't want to strip it down til I'm ready to do the job
Cheers Colin

I'm looking to do some slow running videos so I need good synchronisation of the sound and motion. An engine axle is probably going to be better if possible

The standard axle supplied is only a replacement for short (inside bearings) axles. It is not long enough to connect fly cranks on the outside. You would need to make a special axle to take the magnet.
The synch on my tender drive is fine.

You will need the soundaxle from a croc or OBB diesel (spare part) AND the Massoth kit for the sensor and magnet. The old LGB sensor cannot be used with Massoth units.
