Go ahead, buy those cheap sliders. What could go wrong?

[Speeddog]

No name slider kit, customer brought it in.

Long stud not shown, and this is one side worth of bits.

Looks OK, right?




Unfortunately, there's no bushing to go between the nut/washer and the stepped spool.
So it'll never get to spec torque because it just squishes the plastic.

And if just left that way, likely to eventually crack the frame or the block.

Can be fixed if you happen to have some appropriately sized tubing to make bushings, and a big drill to hog out the plastic slider.

Oh, I almost forgot, two washers to go inside the frame fitting on each side, as the small diameter snout on the end of the spool is too short.




But, better to just avoid all that crap and buy legitimate parts.

Nice reporting Speeddog,

Any indication to the size of tubing/bit used?

[Speeddog]

Roughly 5/8" tubing x 0.050" wall, and a 5/8" drill.

Wooohoooo!!!!
I hope they scored it for a great deal!  After you re-engineer it to fit and work the labor will be more than buying good sliders (if there is such a thing  )

Maybe they were the sliders you were supposed to just velcro over the stock motor mount so it looks like it has sliders?  I might just prefer them.
