Attachment 115684 Attachment 115683 Attachment 115682I might add that I will mount this one on Erics 350 dollar Tri-Z that I picked up for him back in the fall, and double check fitment and of course, the over tightened/

test.

Let us know how they take a beating!!..ill be down for at least 3!!!

**Tri-Z 250** · 02-02-2011, 10:50 PM

Is this a nylon or injected plastic? I'm just curious of the materials wear and melt temp. I be down for a few myself, are you going to list an ad, or just watch this post?

**jeswinehart** · 02-03-2011, 03:38 AM

Yeah, when I have them available I will announce in here, to look in classifieds.
I think that may be the best way to go about offering them up,,,

**Mosh** · 02-03-2011, 09:53 AM

Hey John. I would like one of those.
You can drop one in with the plastic payment and let me know what I owe you.
A protype is fine. it will go on a rider.

**tommerp** · 02-03-2011, 10:19 AM

Any idea on a cost for them? Plain or colored any price difference? What colors will be available?

THANKS FOR RE-FABBING THESE!!

**jeswinehart** · 02-03-2011, 12:17 PM

yep, will do Mosh. You folks are getting a package coming your way this monday for aussieQuad ( Tammy will tell you his correct board name ~ I just have a problem getting that one right),,, I will put it in his box of Tecate parts that Tammy is gonna include with his fender order.
I am leaning towards 35.00 shipped state side, international shipping is what ever it is.
Buy 1 for 35 get the 2nd. one included for 30 or how ever many you buy at 30 dollars each.
Basically what my other sliders I make for Tecates sell for.
Solid colors won't cost anything more (white-black-red-green-blue-PINK)
but other then black, or white, the shade of color is not gurenteed.

**Mosh** · 02-03-2011, 12:19 PM

Thanks John.
I will get some money sent your way shortly..Give me a few days.
White will be fine.

Attachment 115900 Attachment 115901 Attachment 115902 Attachment 115903 Attachment 115904Okay, I played around with mounting the first white one last night after work and it got dark on me so no pictures. It was enough working by flash light in the cold storage area.
I soon found out there is a correct way and a incorrect way to mount these.
I thought the embossed side, around the bolts holes on one side should face out, nope, that is the wrong way. I mounted it up like that (incorrectly) and cranked down on both mounting bolts and thought I heard a "snap" noise. I had the bolts about as tight as I was comfortable with on Eric's 86 Tri-Z and really not wanting to strip out swing arm bolt holes.
After taking the white slider back off I found on the rear mounting hole a small hair line crack running from edge of bolt hole to the end of slider. That was it, nothing else amiss.
I remounted back in the same way and that is when I noticed the chain appeared to be righ tin the inside edge of the slider and not centered.
So, I took it back off and figured it needed flipped over which put the slightly raised embossed bolt hole area against the slider and it centered the chain on top of the guide.
I re-tightened the bolts with it on properly to the very max, tapped on the slider with socket handle all over the place, fine, just fine.
Now I did not beat the dog crap out of it by any means but since this is the same exact material I have been making 86/87 T-3 and 87/88 T-4 sliders out of for 2 years I know it will take chain slap okay and have good life on the slider.
Okay, look in classifieds folks. I probably have pushed the envelope about as much as I should with this project in trikesylvania (should have been in the R+D section).

Thanks guys. john
