I have a blade swing arm if you need one to get done... £50 + shipping...ClipperIT5 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 10:25 am Do any of you good people have a braced swing arm that is surplus to your needs and you would consider selling. I am seaching for one for an ongoing project. Regrettably I dont have the skills to fabricate one.
So if you have one or can make one please make contact and perhaps we can negotiate its value
Oh, so you're now an 'armputee'?
Someone I know whos not on the forum...
If you have both arms why not just look for a local fabricator.. looks like there is one pretty close by to you. Certainly be cheaper than buying one pre made. If you can do the cutting ready it will save money... it's easy enough to chop the brace and caliper mount locator off.. the locator is straight forward.. the brace.. just make sure when it sits on the storm arm that it has a nice even gap where it will be welded.. smaller the gap the better as neater welds.. and use a fresh cutting disc or at least one that hasn't been used on any other metal other than aluminium.
That's a good tipShauned71 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 09, 2020 10:51 amIf you have both arms why not just look for a local fabricator.. looks like there is one pretty close by to you.

I was just looking your area.. quick search found this place.. https://www.kendrews.co.uk/ it's what i did when i had my swing arm done.. found a company not to far away me doing similar work to these guys and tried my luck. I trimmed, cut and got everything ready and dropped it off with instructions of what i wanted. Can't remember if it was 40 or 50 quid but done a great job and looked very tidy.ClipperIT5 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:16 am By the sounds of it you could recommend some local to me ?
