Title: Chain slider
Post by: aj52 on January 12, 2017, 09:03:32 PM
Hi guys

My chain slider on swing arm are in pieces.
I know Randy has for the '92,but expensive cause of exchange rate.
What I want to know is if Teflon will work to manufacture one?

This may be an option for you.....Shipping should not be prohibitive.

Or chop your wife's cutting board and fit it with non acetic silastic such as marine grade such as silastic. I measure the width of swing arm and made a two piece. Cost $0 if you don't get caught by the missus. I driven for a couple of tanks since fitting and it works well.

Done about 1000km on the new chain slider.
The teflon seem to work well so far.
Here is some photo's.
