Todd,
Will the Elan struts require grinding out the retract mounting area?

Absolutely not Dave... They are of almost zero offset in the extended position with 1/2 trunion style capture, no pin connections!
Our Pro-Link retracts will fit the Elan without any grinding of the frames.

Regards,
Todd

All of our Pro-Link products are CAD engineered and fabricated in the USA, NOT "copied" regardless of what others may insinuate.

For the record, we attempted to work with Sandor and Jet-1A products late 2006 / early 2007. This is not the place to hash out our reasons for severing our business relationship with them however, I am happy to provide that information with anyone whom finds it of any importance.

Thank you...

Todd,

Please show the strut dimensions on your website. I may be interested in these for another application.

This is a new product announcement thread from Dreamworks and should remain so. I just deleted unnecessary posts here and would caution that they not be repeated. If you have anything contrary to contribute, please open your own thread and do so.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Todd,

The new strut length is perfect for use with my Rookie II w/ Robart 630 retract units. I'd like to know if I can use the Intairco wheel/brake hub on this strut and weather or not a 1/4" axle option can be added instead of the 3/16". Same goes for the Elan strut in development, what is the overall length?

Thanks!

Ken

Ken,
I have a strut package for the Rookie II that fit perfectly into the robart 630's. They are compatible with the Intairco wheels and I can only assume you are looking to use 3" or larger with the need for 1/4" axle? I would be happy to modify a set in-house for your specific needs at no additional charge. Suggest you give me a call to discuss.

Dave,
Will contact you via email

Todd

Welcome to return the standard intro tank for the ER (Unused condition of course) tank if desired? Just let me know...
From now on, all tanks will include a super-clunk and tygon line if purchased with the O-ring style fittings.

Great work Todd and congrats on the BVM collaboration!

Will these same struts work in a BobCat ARF?

Todd,

My ideal trailing link strut is this; I have a preexisting cut out in my Rookie for the Robart straight strut. Total length of the strut is 5.25" long to the center of the axle. I use 3.25" diameter Intairco wheels/brakes. I want a near straight trailing link strut for Robart 630 units to fit the opening with minimal cutting of the fuse bottom without having to by another set of wheels. I don’t want to enlarge the opening in the fuse I’ve already got there now.

Digitech pulled it off with the Jet 1A struts for the Elan, but the strut uses pins and funky wheels and it may be to long. Will your Elan Pro-link struts be similar, but also be compatible with Intairco wheels/brakes?

I once bought the Jet 1A struts from you when you first got them and they where really nice. Turned out that they where to long and the axle was way to much off center, which would have left a large cut out on the bottom I did not want. I sent them back…

I've already installed the tank and it would be more trouble then worth to swap them out, but if you feel so kind as to send me that clunk I'd be appreciative, i had to steal the one from my startup tank and haven't a replacement as of yet.

Todd,

Is the shank diameter .40" or .50"? The picture with dimensions shows .40 but you mentioned 1/2 in your earlier post.
