Starting on the new swingarm.

looking good...

This machine is going to be awesome. I'm going to need you to quit your job so you can have daily photo updates.

 

[DrogeN Omen]

love those exhausts.

this is going to be a beast.....!

 

[truckinduc]

Does anyone know the bearing # for the belt tensioner pully? I'm designing my new pully and need to make the bearing bores the appropriate size, but I'm having trouble finding the bearings.

 

[truckinduc]

5203 or 6203, not sure which one.

 

[thrstrmech]

hold on I go it, let me look...found it 6203-2RSH

 

[truckinduc]

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been busy working on my house and installing my new car lift. I've also been doing side jobs to make up going over budget on this build.

Got a little work done on the swingarm.

I tried to keep the welds down so when I smooth them they don't loose much material.

 

[truckinduc]

One more filler piece for the inside and the window is done. I'm going to plug the two caliper mount holes and bolt the caliper mount on from the inside.

 

[truckinduc]

Made these little plugs to weld in and shave the caliper mount holes.

 

[truckinduc]

Exhaust material arrived.

 

[thrstrmech]

swing arm looks really good, nice idea with the plugs

 

[truckinduc]

Started on the new belt tensioner pulley. It's 3.25" OD versus the stock 4.625" OD. This should give me room to push the mufflers rearward.

And I tapped the caliper mounts for helicoils.

Can't wait to see what the exhaust looks like when you mock it up or done . Great job so far. [up][up]

 

[truckinduc]

Welded up the caliper mount holes, and finished capping the factory holes.

 

[thrstrmech]

pulley is awesome...

helicoil...they are ok, timeserts much better, just my 2 cents

 

[truckinduc]

I've used about every kind of thread insert there is. The timeserts require a lot bigger threaded hole than the helicoils do, that's why I chose the helicoils. I didn't have enough material for a timesert without going down on caliper bolt size which I didn't want to do. This will be fine as I don't plan on removing the caliper very often.

[truckinduc]

Finished the pulley and slotted and counterbored the mount. It fits perfectly.

Those heli coils are fine, since it is only seeing shear loads and not tensile.

Awesome work by the way.
