Anyone need OEM parts or wrenching done? (1 Viewer)

Been almost a year since I posted last, mainly due to some personal issues revolving around v2.0, who is now ex v2.0

Anyways, if you're looking for parts or need some wrenching done, shoot me a PM.

Are you talking about the locator pin on the spring pack?

Or this:

oooooh! ooooooooh! That.

Noooo! Get the stock type, the greasable ones like to end like this.

Ouch! design flaw or lack of greasing the greasable?

Kurt at cruiseroutfitters.com sells nice ones.

Design flaw, bolts shouldn't have holes in them!

Once they are broken, it's a real pain to get them out, have done it a few times.

What I can get is going to be OEM mostly. Unfortunately, Mr T no longer makes them. However OME and others make those pins. Try Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters. He has the OME's (#SP60010G) for about $15-$20 each. HTH

*Edit* Kevin's got fast fingers than me!

X2 regarding the greasable versions. I'd stick with the stock style.

 

[KingBeeIII]

It certainly does. Gotta check the local parts counters in the morning though. Many thanks, you too Tools.

The OME pins are greasable, have broken. The Part# SP60010 is not OME, are $14.50 ea. Have used them, good part.

I'd also stay away from the poly spring bushings like in Kevin's pics, mainly just from experience. I prefer the stock rubber style bushings. Be sure to use a compatible lubricant on them like NAPA's Sil-Glyde (765-1351).

Aren't just the early style greasable? I thought the latter ones weren't

Agree/disagree, depends on what the goals are. Rubber bushings are softer, in most cases flex better, often ride better. Urethane bushings are often stiffer, can be noisy, but often last longer. On early '40's there often isn't a choice, the only bushings made in the proper size are urethane.

Any silicone base water resistant grease will work well.

All of the OME pins that I have seen are greasable. The early ones are the biggest problem, the later type are larger in OD, so stronger, tolerate the hole better.

Dave Gore aka "4-Plus", right here in Globe AZ makes nice ones. they have a small grove instead of a hollow core.

haven't heard of anyone posting troubles with them.

If you have them, keep them, last I heard, he no longer makes them and hasn't for a longtime.
