for what a coupler costs I can just buy a tube from some one else. MY mandrel cost less than a tube from some one else.

Then he needs to find someone who has a mandrell that he needs and would be willing to sell it to him.
 
Yep to bad there isn't someone that lives close to him with a 2.125 pipe :)
 
Screw this. I'm building a 3in.

:dark:

MUAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Alex , go to your local usps and buy a white 2 inch mailing tube . It is exactly 2.125 OD. You can buy a 24 inch length , wrap one layer of packing tape length wise , do your layup then soak the tube in your tub . The cardboard will fall out . Now you have a 24 inch length of carbon tube , and you can use your motor case as a coupler .

hi Alex,

We have some full length (48") 54mm couplers that my dad and I wrapped with mylar. You can borrow one if you pay for shipping, or maybe pick it up at XPRS?

Thanks for the offer, but it's not going to be 54mm anymore.
3in all the way!
Oh how I wish I could get my L2 on an M motor. :D
