UPDATE on front axle wedges

Postby Rick Prentice » Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:53 am

Hello all. It's been awhile since I've made any parts. I've been somewhat following things on the site when I get the chance. I have almost everything collected to make some front axle wedges. I hope someone else isn't secretly doing the same thing and I'm stepping on some toes. I'll have some pictures in the next week or so and another update with possible selling price and availability. These wedges will be cast out of aluminum and attach the each other so there's no chance of slipping out. Bill Hudson will get the first complimentary set to evaluate, since this design was his. Once these are finished and ready to sell, I'll post things on the For Sale forum so I don't get booted off the site :D

Thanks, Rick (former KubKraft employee)

Hope you've got a few buckets of used wheel balancing weights laying around, sounds like you're going to need them.

That’s something I have never seen. All the weights I have seen have been lead.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
