THE MACHINIST

anything else i need to check or look out for?

thanks for the info guys

I got a good deal on them but haven’t picked them up yet.  I have a friend storing them for me.  Will snag them this summer.  Thanks for the information.  I will post some pictures when I get them. 

Looking for a cargo pod for my C model it already has float fittings so hoping to find something that could work with that 

thanks in advance 

I was told these were straight 1200s not 1220s or 1260s 

seems like I remember reading they were marginal but again not sure. 
 

thanks 

Thank you I was afraid of that but was unable to find any posts confirming or denying it unfortunately 

I have a chance to pick up a set of full lotus 1200 floats. Without rigging.  How would they work on my c model HH with a 582?

thanks in advance 

I sent you a PM reminder on the spacers and axles 

thanks

I am going to go to cub style gear with a cabane on my C model. What diameter bungee do I need 4 6 8 or 10 mm?  How many feet do I need?

thanks 

Jamie 

Did not know that.  Prefer to avoid 

Muchos Grassy ass 

Do you also have the longer axles?  If so I would take them save me building them. 

Thanks again

Sounds good let us know what you want for them 

thanks

Jamie 

I would but it’s too dense and hard to machine. 

Can’t believe it not even a wise ass remark ;-)

So after trading my 6” wheels for 8” wheels because I wanted to go with the 27” Dessers I then found a deal on a set of 26” Bushwheels so jim was nice enough to trade me the 8” wheels I traded for a pair of sixes.  The new problem is they are 4”x6” and not wide enough. So before I build or buy some spacers does anyone have a set of 6”x6” wheels they would trade for my 4”x6”

thanks

jamie

Jim that is an interesting thought but not sure how one could remove the plastic from inside  the wheels?  These are the ones I got from you and they are mostly solid on the inside not sure if it could be pulled back out the bearing holes?

I will measure my rims tomorrow 

I’m hoping they are 6x6 they the stock avid wheels 

I bought those 26” Bushwheels and finally got around to try to mount them and there is about 2 3/4” distance I would need to draw them together to use my avid wheels. Is that possible or do I need to build a spacer?  If I build a spacer then I would have to have a longer axle. 

Thanks

jamie 

Nlappos I would like to experience that is why I am looking for one  

Thanks dusty

i will pass on this one then

So if it has the rubber plug it won’t work for my use?

thanks

jamie

I found a deal on a 99 but I heard last year that will work for ac use is 95 due to boss’s on the case for something can’t remember what. 

Thanks

jamie

How long would one have to be at sea to mistake a manatee for a mermaid?
