Post by: mswyka on December 03, 2017, 03:20:01 PM

Good afternoon.  Does anyone have any spare NOS spindle bushings and spindle sleeves?

I am in the process of having a batch of spindle sleeves made.  I have a pair of NOS ones that will be copied exactly.  I'm hoping they will be done within a week or two.

Hi Gixxer6,

Are you also going to make 550 spring sleeves 42036-3503 ?  And if not,  does anyone have a set of NOS they would let go of...?

I am not planning to make them.  I made a couple for the Intimidator using a couple old rear skid cross shafts.  I had a couple that had broken off bolts on one end, I cut the opposite ends off then drilled the existing hole the rest of way through.  It was super easy and can be done with a hacksaw and a hand drill.

I have gotten those from McMaster-Carr. Just measure up yours and look them up I think they call them standoffs?
