Re: 5c spindle

Hi Jon,

Let me get this straight....you took the spindle out of the spin
indexer and made a new housing to contain the ball bearing'ed
spindle? In other words, did you just use the spindle and nothing
else from the spin indexer?

Sounds like an inexpensive way to get a 5C mount.

thanks for the post,

Doug
