  • Hustler spinger anyone?

    I saw one thread of a hustler springer being built, but there hasnt been any updates in awhile. Anyone build one yet?

    I am still working on my Hustler springer project. It has been awhile, but I will post an update soon.
    I don't want to go fast, I just want to go anywhere.

          I like the dual shock design. Im going to stick with a single shock, still trying to figure out how Im going to connect the out axle to the inner axle. Might have to find a fab shop around the area.

            ok all you springer guru guys, Im working on a low cost method of making my hustler a springer, and have a lot of ideas and I want some opinions and thoughts on them, Im thinking of ways to connect the two axles together (low cost of course, so Im thinking the gear is held onto the axle by a press bolt, so why cant one drill a second hole in the gear tube and one in the outer axel closer to the body and insert the drive outer axle into the gear tube and secure it with another grade 8 press bolt? theres enough room for 2 holes, you could even offset them. Ive included a picture due to my lack of mechanical terms

              So just got off the phone with a local metal fab shop, and for 1/16th''-3/16''th steel plates fabbed and tabs welded for the suspension for my springer project would be 600 per side, this seems pretty steep to me, all you springer guys does this sound reasonable for the work? Ive never had anything welded or fabricated so I have no idea on prices

                  Same here. That doesn't sound too bad. I assume you are providing the drawings and they are cutting the plates and tabs out themselves and then welding everything in place?

                      You guys that have been doing this awhile, what would be stronger to connect the outer and inner axles with, a double d joint with the inner axle end cut to mimic the double d and a hole cut or punched ito the cv joint so inner axle would go into out axle, or external splines on the inner axle going into internal splines on the cv

                        well, my hustler springer idea is slowly dieing, I called 10 shops around the area today and no one does spline cutting around here. the last option would be a U-joint set up

                            Picked a bad week for springer advice as most are off riding in the desert.
