Thread: Who did this sneaky Swing Arm?

As that appears to be either PaulP38A's RR, it was probably either him or Hardy Neale.

It looks like Qld rego so probably Hardy.

This is an old pic:

Yes it is my car.

Willem now has that swing arm on his P38A.

Cheers, Paul.

Paul,

Do you know where it came from? Who made it? It's the sort of simple set up I have been looking for for round town... even if its not tough enough for off road, I would happily put spare back on roof or in car (maybe like clarks upright mount) for trips.

G'day Dave,

That's now on my car with a spare mounted on it.

A couple of comments:

• It has quite a welded structure underneath it, bolted to the chassis.
• The mount thru the bumper bar is a PITA to get right. Access to the nuts underneath is quite restricted.
• Fabricating the latch point, even with the bits and pieces Paul gave me, was quite a job.
• The swing arm mount itself is a bit flexi -the wheel can move a bit, backward and forwards. Not a lot, but I would have preferred something a bit more rigid.
• The pic that Ron posted, tho on the same car, is a different swing arm/ mount than this one. I have the bits for that, too ... but chose not to use it.

So I cobbled the bits together ... but it all works and its all good. But if I had the cash I'd rather go and buy one!

If you're down my way come and have a look.

Willem

Willem, Thanks for the info and offer to have a look... perhaps we might catch up at Aussie's trip or if I get down to Cat Land sometime! I think you've answered the query for me, in that it sounds like it was a one off item. I was hoping someone may have the template & time and just be trickling them out of their shed... like my old grandpa used to say, "wish in one hand and spit in the other, then see which one gets full first." Another handful of spit I guess! Thanks again for the info. Hoo-Roo, Dave.

Hey Willem,

Just flashed back to this comment and was wondering is your second swing arm working/servicable and available for possible sale?

PM me if its good and you have a price in mind

Thanks, Dave

G'day Dave,

I just looked in the shed and I have the swing arm and the swivel point that mounts on the bumper bar - the bits you can see in Ron's pic. I don't know if there was support structure underneath the bumper bar - in any case I don't have it. The bits that I have are quite serviceable.

If they are of use to you you can have them. Its better that they are out there being used than cluttering up my shed!

Willem

Done, would love to take it off your hands... even if I need to get some bits fabricated to complete it will take a load off the roof for a while! Just unsure about when I will be down your way next.

Are you gonna join Aussies fishing/sipping trip? Perhaps then I could shout your drinks or food or something to return the favour?
