No worries at all bud, Just wanted you to know.

I hope to buy the CNC production lathe from my work in the next couple of years as that will be the next machine replaced in the shop. It is all G-code and takes along time to set up (not everyone knows how to program or tool it) but awesome for long run jobs which we dont see much of at work. If I get that thing Ill be able to beat the prices off ebay and anyone who sells weld thread inserts and HM Spacers. Ill be making alot of bulk then. Were talking like a thousand or better at a crack.

Nothing if you know the language. What I really meant is Its really just a stupid control on the machine. It will be most likley replaced with a machine that has live tooling and a control that better suits the type of work we cater to.

Another nice couple of features this older machine has is a hydraulic chuck, 8 station tool turret, chip conveyor and a programable tailstock.

No bar feeder but Ill make a puller that uses fingers in a tool position for the bungs and HMS.

well problem solved i think..  found a set of arms spindles rotors and calipers from a 1988 honda trx250x. 100$....  can get the aluminum wheels for them for another 40$.  to bad i wasted 30$ on those other arms, cant take em back. :(   

one question: the top ball joint is screwed in, so i can replace it.  the bottom is welded on and i have noticed this on alot of arms. there is no snap ring on the back... so how the hell do i replace it? is there a snap ring under the boot?

Unfotunately Fabr is right,
What you will probably end up doing is what I did, build your own arms and modify the shit out of the quad spindles, I whacked off the steering stem,flipped them and bored the ball joint holes to accept automoive ball joints...on the ones I mentioned before...I had a set of what you got...I'm sorry to say take them back...You have a can of worms your not going to like...Unless you use their arms and the same geometry as the quad did, even then your in for a funky set up on the steering geometry...Well maybe not funky but a challenge to set up, they have a relatively short steering stem stock, and it has placement issues when trying to get more travel than the stock 3 1/2'' the machine originally had...I gotta go play with the mini loader so I can stay warm...more later...BTW i'll ship tommarow with the bloody

Spec, aren't those spindles upside down? I can see Yoshi adding a neon green line showing your KPI...that looks like heavy steering scrub.

Tenaja,
I didn't use them :o
They were right side up, upside down, swapped left to right, and used in the stock position, in that series of pix, That's what I was trying to say about the 250 -300 ex spindles...By the time I got done trying to get the propper geometry...Here's what I had left
But I think VOODOO is keeping the stock arms,and geometry...This was just an example of what happens when trying to get extra travel, and good steering geometry  out of them
