[FOR SALE] Tuff Wheel adapters

[plymouth67]

Testing the waters on interest on some tuff wheel adapters. These adapters are machined out of Delrin, a high strength black plastic. This material is very strong and will always look new and black. We will be selling these for $75.00 plus shipping. We can also make them to custom lengths if needed. The original ones are getting harder to find and reproduction ones are out of stock everywhere and over double the cost. Let's see if there is interest in this.

Splines are metal and I really boned up typing the material names. It's Delrin.

what do ya use for the steering wheel studs?

Since the original ones had acorn style nuts to fit in the spot face on the wheel to help center it. We decided to use countersunk cap screws.

 

[abodyjoe]

the plastic is threaded then?

 

[plymouth67]

Yes, they will also have heli coils in them.

 

[wes beem]

interesting concept. I like it. Im not at that point in my build yet but something to keep in mind.

The custom length bit is nice too.

 

[Dartswinger70]

I am on board. I am planning a Tuff wheel swap in the near future on my Dart Swinger 340.

oh ok cool.. will that plastic hold up ok to the UV and all? is it strong enough?

Delrin has uv stabilizers and is used in industrial outdoor use. It should hold up fine, it’s a very strong material. No affiliation with the OP, I had researched it previously.

Delrin is a self lubricating "engineering plastic", similar to industrial nylon.

Many gear components in the hobby field are made from it, such as those used in RC cars and model trains.

 

[ocdart]

Great concept. Very interested in a shorter version. How short can you go on a custom length?

Really not sure on how small we could go but I will measure and let ya know.

 

[Dartswinger70]

[plymouth67]

$75 plus shipping

 

[plymouth67]

Anyone who would like to purchase one (or multiple..lol) Please send me a PM. We are just starting on these so we don't have any inventory yet so we will be making them as the orders come in and, trying to have a few stocked up. We will fill and ship in the order we receive the PM's. We will charge when your item is ready to ship.

Will these hold paint well?

 

[plymouth67]

I believe if you prep them properly they would but, I can't say for sure.

I have a cousin who paints cars. He’s told me to buy Bulldog spray adherent . Spray it on any plastic (once you’ve cleaned the surface first) then you can paint it and the paint will stick.

 

[stretch]

I am interested for sure. I too would like to know how they hold paint and exactly how you would like me to measure for a custom length. I assume overall length.

 

[plymouth67]

Overall length from the edge of the column up to where you want the face of the surface the wheel mounts to the adapter.

 

[plymouth67]

I also want to add to let everyone know that since this is made from a plastic that you will need to run a secondary ground for your horn to work. It's very easy to do and, I can walk anybody through if need be.
