Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

I'm in for two sets of 1/2 ton and a set of 3/4 ton. As long as the price is in the same ballpark as before and they are Blue. Thanks

FYSA, I would have more than dozen sets of 1/2 tons made! They will sale fast!

Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

Someone on Ebay is selling them already.

Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

Hey guys I need for someone to send me a 1/2 ton hub dial to use as a prototype to make some aluminum ones. It does not have to be in perfect
condition but should be all there. It will be returned to you plus shipping once the CNC program is written. PM me for my address. Thanks

Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

If need be I may have an orphan NOS yellow 1/2t I can dig for. Any chance to add "Spicer" to the 3/4t examples on the next go-round?

I would like the Spicer too if possible. But I like them the way they you made them also. I think the aluminum will last for a long time and that's great. I need at least one set possibly two. One set for my truck and a set for a spare set I have.

Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

I think the Spicer name probably has a copyright and I am not really wanting a legal battle from Dana/Spicer.

More 3/4 ton ones are on the way.

I understand they're awesome either way. I still want at least one pair possibly two

I am in for 3 sets of 1/2 tons. Let me dig and see if I can find one of my spares.

Re: Interest in aluminum hub knobs?

I have a yellow one I could send you, there the same other than the color & the blue 1/2 tons don't have spicer on them. I can send the chrome piece also so you have it for test fitting ! And I wouldn't need to get them back.

Superwinch makes hubs with blue knobs, they don't make replacement blue knobs for Spicer hubs (which is what the custom knobs in this thread are for).

I know about the TDS knobs and the purpose of this thread. My post was about Superwinch not making replacement knobs (re: your post).

What I'd really like to see made is the chrome bezel for Spicer hubs (specifically, for D60's).

you can research this for yourself, but I was at a fastener place today , and the guy said that stainless steel bolts are not very strong, I am going to use my original bolts.

I went to a place that rebuilds hydraulic cylinders and bought some from them that are the same dimension and close to the same profile. They fit very well.

Hi Bruce, can you find out which O rings or whatever you used,(dimensions) I am having trouble finding anything that will work, thanks, Jim

Jim, I have some that will work in addition to some originals. I need to find the part number for the new ones. I bought them at a place that repairs hydraulic cylinders. I will send you the info.

The company where I got the seals is American Seal Co 3528 E Desmet Spokane Wa 99202. 509-534-0455. Part HRU18-250-18.
Again these have the same dimensions as the originals but not the same profile but it is close.
