82 450 suspension arm caps.. any work around?
Posted: 07:34 am Jul 26 2019
I bit the bullet and my frighteningly expensive ball joints are on their way across the Atlantic ready to recondition the rear end of my 1982 450.
I am now trying to see if i can avoid another wallet shrinking tussle with Ebay
The genuine caps for the uni-trak rocker are as you know, simply a thick washer with a stepped rubber lip moulded to them...
I can buy them new old stock but by the time I get them here to the UK with shipping and tax I'm going to be into the equivalent of $150.
Has anybody successfully come up with an alternative way of sealing the rocker bearings from dirt/wet ingress?
I have a lathe so machine work isn't an issue...
thanks a million
