T-Dub Swinger.... Busted

[Krandall]

I heard a rumer that Tony could be at my shop this week. If and when I see him I will mention your swinger and see if we can get another one. SLC makes a strong ladder bar swing arm you should be able to beat on pretty good. That is the style is going to build for myself in a +10.



Frank  that's .120 wall tube.  I bent my 1.25 od .120 wall swinger just behind the shock mount this weekend pounding the whoops. I would think a 7/8 .065 would be ok if you keep it short and on the track only. Its going to want to twist right to left. a larger OD with the same wall thickness will give you more rigidity with out a lot more weight. If you want to know exactly how much give me a call and I could figure it out for you.

That would be greatly appreciated Paul! Keep me in the loop w/ what happens

Any chance of you mentioning mine too? The very same thing happened to me, but I have been trying to get ahold of him for MONTHS!!

Nobody call him.  Lets get him in Pauls shop first and then let Paul take care of it.  We don't want to scare him off.

He would have to answer the phone first in order to get scared

[socalrappy700]

Ok, no voicemails then.

I do have his house number

[socalrappy700]

I have his house, cell, and shop (shut down) but I'll hold off from calling.

Broke at the welds.

Crazy.

Sorry to hear that. Especially since it took forever for it to come in!

Thank Paul. Tim is doing a +10 and has the +12 done. They are for the dragbike, which as you know will never see the whoops. I think she is officially reserved for the track Are you going on the 28th?

[powder coater]

yes and we have a test and tune going the friday before if your interested. Matt at DTR is renting the track.

I will do what I can for all you guys as far as T Dub goes but to be honest I don't know anyone that has ever had any influence on him repetadly. I would keep calling. The squeaky wheel gets the greeks. I have a number of contractors that owe me money and that's what eventually gets me paid. It pisses me off every time.

[1FST690]

I cant make it on friday. I think I will bring the ol reliable 690 if I cant find anything faster to Jockey


I hope you fellers with the T-Dubs get them fixed but looking at the track record I think it may be less of a hassle just to buy another one

[Flynbyu]

Hopefully you still have your old swinger to fill in as a replacement until you find a new one.

Thats sucks, hopefully both of you get replacements.

Good luck!
