I have had several people ask me for piks of swing arm jigs

[phragle]

Here they are, the first is the round house jig. Since I did not have a round house swinge to jig off of, I made the front mounts (A solid bar which is a VERY tight fit slides thru the front tubes) For the rear, I used a swingarm with the stock carrier, aftermarket axle and sprocket carrier all bolted together, than made vee blocks to locate the axle and welded in a block against the sprocket. This set the axle and sprocket in a fixed location. Next I assembles the round carrier with axle and carrier housing so everything would be aligned.

very nice!! I:I well beyond my abilities though haha

Next we have the standard carrier jig. the adjustability for +1,+2, +3 and plus for is handled by the 4 holes in the front. The reason all the materia in the jig is so thick is so there is zero heat distortion and it would be very difficult to bump it and knock something out of square. The front jig ears and Tube locator rod are thick enough and fit very tight so that it always mounts up square. the rear fixture for the ears mounts them in one place. There is no provision for the shock mount location as my shock mounts vary per application. Cutting the holes for the shock mounts on the mill along with the holes for the front pivot tubes assures they are square. Yes I know the swing arm looks like hell, I was teaching my nephew to weld, thru the parts on the jig and let him screw around.

[1bad442]

i have acces to a plasma table and a water jet making the ears fior the stock style carrier would be easy for me

very cool dude!! you live in the south with all that rust?!

 

[phragle]

the roundhouse was a plus 3 if I remember right. I just sent 2 sets of ears to Ken, can you pattern? I lost the cad file a long time ago, so he may want you to make some sets so send him a pm.

[Awk08]

i'd rather see the ears slide into a slotted rail, than just weld to it ????
but good stuff for a rookie, hahahaaaaaa

That rust adds rigidity right?

Hmmm now if only I had a gmaw instead of a fcaw........

If anyone pulls a print off those ears I'd really like a copy in any format.
