woodruff key size
Piss me off. I'm trying assemble the carb rack for my GT550 and I am missing the tiny woodruff keys for the rack shaft. Tried to price them at Partzilla and they are obsolete. I need three keys. Does anyone know the size (probably a number)? Anyone have some spares? HELP!
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Re: woodruff key size
Thanks guys! I'll check the local Ace. If they don't have them, I'll pick the 25 pack from McMaster Carr. Anybody need some? I need a few other things from McMaster so now is a good time. Maybe Partzilla would be interested. Though obsolete, their last price was $3.59 ea.
Of no importance, I use Fire Fox as my browser. It keeps trying to tell me I am spelling woodruff wrong.
If I right click the word it gives me options. They are wood ruff, wood-ruff and woodrow.
That's it. A woodrow key

Re: woodruff key size
Woodruff is a proper name, so it should be capitalized. But Firefox still isn't smart enough not to flag it as misspelled. Of course, you can right-click, and add it to your dictionary.

Re: woodruff key size
Ace had the keys. Still pricey at $1.79 each. Beats waiting and having 20+ keys with no home.
