• This part holds a shaft against a flat surfaces. It has
an oblong base 0.5 inches thick. The base is 2
inches long and 1 inch wide with the sides tapering
from 1.25 inches wide at the center to 0.5 inch
diameter round ends.
• There is a bolt clearance hole 0.25 inches in
diameter centered at each end.
• The shaft holder portion of the part is a hollow
cylinder that protrudes 0.5 inches perpendicularly
from the base. Its outer diameter is 0.75 inches and
