Boat Parts?

[ssling]

Could anyone please tell me where I can find boat parts in Singapore? Specifically, I am looking for 1/8 in or 3.2 mm brass rod for a drive shaft and the Graupner U-Joint of the same size. Have looked at numerous hobby web pages, but didn't find anything. Have a submarine I am trying to finish.
Thank you.

Go Fook Hai there are a few hobby shops, can improvise on brass tubing found there. Have a few U-joints for planes there too, maybe you can use it for ur sub too. Alt, go to Art friend @ Bras Basah, they sell brass tubing there too. Might want to talk to the shopkeepers @ Fook Hai they can offer some leads too...

TF,
You can use fuel tubing as a poor man's u-joint.
Please post pics of your sub

Unless your sub is negatively buoyant I don't see how a jammed prop shaft would prevent you from retrieving your sub. A lot of rc submariners use fuel line shaft coupling.
