Today I finished my drive. As I said before, my first experience in making a drive did not work.
I bought this drive below. This stuff have a good quality and correct size but the design is very different from the real mystic drive.
So I went looking for parts to help me to do something that pleases me.
I found a piece of electrical equipment in a shop that served perfectly.
This is a union for antenna wires. :-)
I stuck the inside with a drill and took the thread to make the piece to fix the shaft tube in the hull.
As these electrical parts are made in brass, was very easy to weld in a brass pipe that I cut using my drill as a lathe.
See it. The interior diameter is the same of the 4mm fexishaft teflon sleeve.
The cone who fix the drive pipe in the top of the hull was more difficult to found. I tried search something similar but I had no success. So I had the idea to do it in Fimo. Yes it is Fimo, after "cooked" it's very strong and lightweight.
That's it for now fellows.

after putting all parts together, I assemble the set.
This is the final result.
The "Fimo cone" glued with epoxi to the aluminum plate and painted.
