Use a baggie for catching the spring in your IHS.



This is something I picked up from rebuilding manual hubs.

Funny when you read about people losing their IHS spring because they took it apart only for the spring to fly into oblivion

 

With our powers combined



Need to cut the small bolts here to retrieve a back up lead screw and motor; socket cap screws got stripped trying to remove the coupler so I pulled out the whole lead screw and motor assembly

I felt like Predator removing the head of his prey with a spine attached

 

I'd love to come up with a replacement Z axis assembly running linear rails instead of those eccentric bearings





Not to mention use something else for coupling with the lead screw since it uses a cheap plastic threaded setup that strips easily



Guess a sort of limit switch could be used in lieu of the "spring" setup for IHS? Then how does one figure out springback from there?

I knew I should've gone to school when I got accepted to go

That and I need a mill....

 

Found a similar mount to the TEQ Offroad mount with a couple different options on Etsy for a bit cheaper if anyone was interested

@Empty_Lord

Saw this at your shop today

 

Be pretty easy to put that on a carrier with sulfer bronze bushings... but less serviceable too. Doubt it would help the accuracy in any meaningful way considering it's just torch height rail, not a Z axis that takes load like a mill would have.

 

i wish my center console clips weren't busted off, i could make good use of this... but even a phone in the cupholder is enough weight to pop the whole thing off lol

 

Same. Plus its cracked and said crack grows every time I take the bezel off
Wish replacements weren't $400

 

See if @Tour991 has any?

 

Hes got a couple but they're '98+

He does however have a cluster surround bezel which will replace the one I also cracked

Have you tried crying?

 

Every night, no luck yet

Well shit, I'm outta ideas then. Sucks they cracked on ya, I've been lucky so far. But I also don't really use the cup holder either

 

I wish I knew this idea when the c clip in my husky motor yeeted itself in my garage.

I drove 4 hours (2 there 2 back) to the only shop who had it in stock so that I could ride an event I had that weekend. That sucked.

 

I think it was a combination of both the AZ sun and my own stupidity. The cluster bezel crack started at the top right switch blank, where high school me squeezed an aftermarket switch into, safe to assume that caused that crack. It was a bit of a press-fit lol. Radio bezel cracked during one of the many times I've taken it off, probably pulled too hard and it had just gotten a bit too brittle over time.

Once I get the new bezel its getting blanks put back in and the switches moved.. somewhere

 

He was so pissed about the decals or some other crap staying on when he sold it

Damn

 

Ooof damn

I only learned it myself cause a spring did fly out on me on the first set

Luckily I found it since it was on my hard floor in the dining room

In a shop setting? That's the forever yeet bro

 

Well it does use screws to mount it in, maybe they could also be used to keep it from popping off
