Bob,
If it's a straight line shot to the winding shaft from the crank hole, it
shouldn't be hard to come up with an extension. Any machinist should be able to
tap and thread a rod that would work. If it needs to be flexible, there are
drill bit extensions that are made from a flexible spring like material, which
may be able to be altered to work, since you only need a short piece. A
machinist should be able to do that also...
