Looking for ball and socket joint
I have an idea for a tool for glassblowing and it could use a small ball
and socket joint, ball maybe 8mm . The joint would need to be able to be tilted about 15 degrees max each way and rotated and clamped solidly once positioned. I have seen items that use such a joint but can't remember where. An off the shelf solution available in the UK would be great. Any ideas. TIA. Dave |

Try the local hobby shop/Radio control cars; they have some neat little flex
drive connections in their engine to wheel drive trains. Ray "David Billington" wrote in message ...
