I made a cad model of the rubber motor axle connector disc the ACL uses.

Free to use, could be machined from rubber or you could use the dimensions in the text file to make similar part by other means. I may upload some other ACL specific models to the same folder sometime later.     https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12p3O38vFi-YxezPMOsjM0SEaOYIr1lmK?usp=drive_link

I uploaded to my folder the Super-Heavy-Duty handle I made for my own ACL, and the NPR-Finder-to-ACL adapter which allows using Kinoptik NPR finder on the ACL camera.

Will upload other ACL and NPR specific stuff to the same folder later on so save the link for future use: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12p3O38vFi-YxezPMOsjM0SEaOYIr1lmK
