nitroracer20

hi guys,
a local machinest has fabricated some prototypes of the lower swingarm link. They are 7075 t-6 aluminum. This is some serious stuff. I got a prototype, it fits like a glove and it will never break again. Were looking to see how much interest there is to see about mass production. The cost will be $25 plus shipping and handling. PIcs will be up later tonight.
Thanks,
Don

$25 + shipping?

thats pretty high for such a small part

7075 is quality aluminum though, and theres a breaking point where smaller doesnt get cheaper.

does that part have breaking problems or what?

from what we have seen it is one of the more common breaking parts, thus why it was created in aluminum.

ttt for the night...this is just a gauge for interest in the swing arm.
Thanks

Yeah these parts break, you can get aluminum ones on e-bay for like $8ea. or something like that, perhaps not as good as yours but..... I don't think you need really good aluminum for this truck, stock parts are ALMOST tough enough, IMO.

Yea, you really don't need great aluminum for parts on the M-T, just plain, cheap aluminum will have more than enough strength for it.
