Keep in mind that .120 wall tube is larger than 1.25 ID, so if you're expecting your bronze bushing to press in.....it won't.No, I'd never heard of them. If their prices are better than Metal Supermarkets and their stuff is cleaner than the cutoffs at SSS then I'll be stoked.
edit - oh my goodness they're cheap! Wasatch wants $56 for a stick of 1.5x.120, Metal Remnants has it for $2.75 a foot or $16.50 for six feet, and no cut charge. That's awesome.
Math is hard.Keep in mind that .120 wall tube is larger than 1.25 ID, so if you're expecting your bronze bushing to press in.....it won't.
my bushing is 2" .250 wall. You could buy one of them (builder bushing $15) and two of these. Cut the poly busing down to make a cap/seal and put the bearing under the poly.
Wrong way. 😉 You'd need to add material to get the press-fit.
I haven't bought anything yet, but wouldn't 1.75 .250 tube have a 1.5" ID, or am I missing something? McMaster has the same bushing for a 1.25" bolt to fit 1.5" ID tube, I could do that if I could find the tube.
Wall thickness x 2.
It gets me when hickey is right too...
This, plus install the race with green bearing-retainer Loctite.
I have some pieces of 2".250 if you go that route. And if you need more than I have, that's a common size. Midnight 4x4 will sell you whatever length you want.
There's a reason why so many bumper builders use Summit Machine's spindles for their swing outs. They don't snap in half on the highway like a trailer spindle has a reputation for. 😎💪
I am a pretty big fan of Summit Machine. (just sayin')
I used a Comp4x4 spindle in my first TJ, it worked great for a couple years with a 33 on it. I thought they were out of business. They used to be down in Spanish Fork.
