    Started at the boat shop but they have nothing in 1/4 inch, tried all the bike shops around me, also nadda. Even tried good Repco and wasn't surprised with a no.

    Was going to try my luck at the lawnmower shop tomorrow, but does anyone have any other suggestions?

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    cant you you just use the boat shop one? It really doesn't matter how small the bore is, unless the demand exceeds the bores delivery capability. Reducers do the rest.

    Tried eBay? Even with shipping fees the end cost might not be entirely unreasonable.

    A possible option. They come in 5/16 and 3/8. Really I would rather get the right part to start with than dicking around with reducers.

    Yea would have liked it today, to get the project running this weekend, so I can go race it next weekend. So haven't looked that hard at eBay (might have to be an option though).

    Finally found one! Was the last one on the shelf at the small outboard maintenance shop here in town.
