T6 Retracts
[size=13px] So I only had one Robart 620 retract for the T6. I've been watching and watching and watching the different forums and ebay for a set. I ended up buying the one I have off ebay. I bought a set of 85 degree retracts several months later with hopes of being able to find a 90 degree block to swap out. The company that bought the rights to the Robart Retract and strut line are not producing the T6 620 Retract however they do produce an aluminum 90 degree block for a meer 75 dollars. I then turn to the different 3d file websites in hopes of someone who has already designed the 90 degree block well no luck there either. So Tinkercad I go. I spent the better part of two days designing and printing a couple of different tries at getting the block right. The third printed block turned out almost perfect. The following photos are of the finished product. I left my design in a couple of files to be able to quickly change the angle from 90 degree to what ever. Not sure yet but for those who can 3d print I may sell the files a for a whole lot less than what High via is selling their aluminum block for but then again Iay just strat doing a original robart repair business.on the side who knows.[/size]
