Hi Brian. Would you say from the photos below that the drain hole in the cup need to come inboard a little too, or is it the photo of the new ones which is making them look slightly out of place to the originals ? maybe Matt can answer the question. Indian one is top, take note of the drain holes. 1 New DMGRS arm also take note of the drain holes, should they be Where the white dots are. 2

Not wishing to take anything away from the great work that's already been done on this, but is there any chance of getting arms without the coating so they could be galvanised ?
Also, are the bushes available - I'm assuming they're not included ? Cheers

Most "proper" galvanisers put the items in a stripping bath first, to remove any impurities on the metal. Any paint would be stripped off in the process.

If Sonic ZS wants to get them dipped in zinc then any rubber items would of course have to be removed (420c), and perhaps a few holes drilled to allow air to escape. Regards Last edited by vitesse; 15th December 2020 at 15:32.. |

Indian arms after blasting
Quote:
Steve - the Indian arm in pic 1 above is one of this pair (pics taken in 2019 before repaint & wax). See posts 14-31 here - https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...=300184&page=2. Here's a closer crop of the one on the right above ... .... and the one on the left. As I said in the other thread, the drain holes on an Indian arm are too close to the vertical wall of the spring cup and the rubber isolator doesn't sit flat on the floor of the cup. The solution (Brian's) is to trim about 5mm off the outer edge of the isolator with some tin snips.** ** I said this was tricky in the other thread (post 17) but I was wrong - it's easy when you buy a decent pair of tin snips!

What’s the relevance of the drain hole position being exactly the same as the original? Or is it just an observation that that aspect isn’t an exact copy?

if the drain holes are not in the right place the spring cup will hold water, as the rubber isolator as cut outs which need to line up with the drain holes. 1 The rubber also as the light bulb attachment which locks into the cup. 2 3 Its not good for spring to be sitting in water. 4

There's a table on the page showing pricing - we've not opened up ordering just yet; we're waiting for our production slot to be finalised (in a week or two) before we do.
That's why they're showing as sold out, as we have zero available in our inventory until pre-orders open.

Any one-off different coatings would be a different batch, and the costs associated with this don't make it worthwhile unfortunately.
