how many of you would interested in a set of stainless steel or r powder coated aluminum dials im tired of the plastic how about you it should direct swap out
thanks need some feedback
thanks jeff

mudmizer · 03-07-2007, 11:23 PM

I,m looking for a set. You're talking about the big spicer ones with the 3/8 x3 inch or so allen bolts and the wide spacer that go'es behind them? Bigger than most.
Maybe I,m not reading this right. Sounds like you want the metal ones because your tired of the plastic, but you have metal ones to trade???

deer slayer · 03-07-2007, 11:46 PM

im looking at making new ones that go in the steel ring you got

mudmizer · 03-08-2007, 12:01 AM

Now I understand. Your planning on making some that would swap out for the plastic ones. I thought you were looking to trade with someone. Are you able to turn them on a lathe? If you can make them and their the ones I,m thinking about that would be great. My plastic ones broke where the small pin goe's through it.

deer slayer · 03-08-2007, 12:03 AM

im gonna have some made for myself and i was wondering if anyone did want some what metal

**special-K** · 03-08-2007, 12:13 AM

Bronze.Are you talking 1/2t or 3/4t?

bloertcher · 03-08-2007, 12:15 AM

If your gonna go to the trouble,make them stainless steel.They'll be something for people to find in 1500 years,when nothing is left from the rest of the truck,and an archeoligist digs it up!

deer slayer · 03-08-2007, 12:15 AM

3/4t the choices are aluminum or stainless

mudmizer · 03-08-2007, 12:24 AM

I'm headed to the 4x4 swap here this weekend and that is one item i'll be digging for. I need the bigger ones. Some 3/4 and even 1 tons do not run these bigger, older spicer hubs. Like I mentioned earlier their the big bolt ,3/8 allen ones that are generally rounded on the edges and look really beefy.
If this is what you are having made and I can't find any this weekend then I would be interested. Did he give you a price?

Looks can be deceiving.
Those 6 3/8in bolts are what ultimately drives the wheels.
Granted I've never broken one yet...

I'd be interested if I can afford a set hub dials.

Powdercoated orange! (My truck is orange)

deer slayer · 03-08-2007, 12:26 AM

yea those are the ones nope havent came up with a price yet

mudmizer · 03-08-2007, 12:27 AM

Thanks keep us posted.

CrashEd · 03-08-2007, 04:26 AM

If you doing them for the old external hubs. that would be cool.

**special-K** · 03-08-2007, 10:01 AM

Warn uses bronze.It`s good for 10,000 years or better.

cobinder · 03-08-2007, 11:56 AM

Those NOS plastic ones go for $60 on ebay

deer slayer · 03-08-2007, 06:40 PM

yea they also break
im thinking more towards ss or aluminun powder coated blue or yellow

**zeusflash** · 03-08-2007, 08:11 PM

Keep me posted also,blue powder coated steel would be awsome! Look original and last forever.

deer slayer · 03-08-2007, 08:35 PM

yea they would be powder coated aluminum and polished ss

**zeusflash** · 03-09-2007, 08:06 PM

That would still work for me,Deerslayer!

**special-K** · 03-09-2007, 10:39 PM

Would the powdercoat interfere with function?Would you undersize the dial to accomodate the coating thickness?The stock ones break from lack of maintainence...not cleaned or oiled.

454_72_4X4 · 03-10-2007, 12:43 AM

This kind, right?

deer slayer · 03-10-2007, 03:49 AM

yes that style

special k i would just do the face of them

CrashEd · 03-10-2007, 03:56 AM
