    E advancer replacement cap.

    Thanks. I hope so. I hope he gets back to me soon and we finalize the deal. I don't see the cap on his page. I never actually put a magnet to the cap to see if it was really copper. I figured that it must have been some coating. Seems really stupid if it is indeed soft copper. Still don't...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    Alright. I give up. You win. I'd love to buy the 2 dollar cap for my xs and pay the six bucks shipping but I just looked and can't find it listed separately. Can you PLEASE just make this happen? Thanks so much for all your help. My telephone number is 912 3760904 if you need to call me. I'd...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    Thanks a million. This is the best info anyone has offered including Pete. I bought this stuff in 2016 or late 2015. Kind of strange that Mike's still had that old stuff. I'll check out the link tomorrow after I get some sleep. I have a perfectly good stock rod. Don't know why I bought the...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    I'd like to know about this part that I received. Is it useable? Have you ever seen this type of cap? In reality I don't think I should have to spend a dime if I was provided with an inferior or discontinued part that no instructions are provided for. How much can the shipping be from Canada for...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    Sorry if I come across at all harsh but I'm on my 14th day clean and sober . Don't really know if that has anything to do with it really. I'm just being honest and thorough in my evaluation of your product and instructions. Maybe it's MikesXS's fault but I don't think so. He can't deliver...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    One sheet says there are tapered pins. The other makes no mention of that. One sheet says install the rotor to the shaft first. The other sheet says install the cap first. One sheet warns that the labels on some early units may have been switched but does not tell you how to determine if you...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    I'm waiting to hear back from him. Thanks. Have you by any chance seen the type of cap that I described? I don't see it mentioned in any instruction page I've gone to. Is there a reason that I should not use the one provided? Why did I get that one in the first place? Honestly if that's some...

    forgot to give you a name along with my address. Josh Elrich. Sorry to bother you. I have fourteen days clean today and might be a little scrambled yet.

    E advancer replacement cap.

    Actually that's a lot of trouble to go through to make that retaining sleeve. I'm just going to give you my address here. Easier for my dumb ass and I'm not hiding from anyone. 2806 Mimosa Rd. Brunswick GA 31520 How do I pay for it? Thanks again.

    E advancer replacement cap.

    Have you seen the copper colored cap I've described? I'm thinking I can machine a sleeve and JB weld it over the end to close the notch and prevent the possibility of the pin flying out. I've seen you on this site for a couple of years since I discovered it and have much respect. I'm not...

    E advancer replacement cap.

    I got my pamco with e advancer kit from Mikes xs a couple of years ago for a very slow project that I've been tinkering with and now that I'm trying to install it I have questions. Here's the first one. The advance replacement cap that I received isn't the aluminum one I see in the instructions...

    swing arm shims?

    Just found the setting. 47 ft lbs.. I don't like the idea of squeezing the frame any more than a couple of thou. Seems like the more pressure/torque required to squeeze it, the less you are actually squeezing the pivot bushing. I may be a bit anal here but that 's the way it is.

    swing arm shims?

    Whoops. I'm just saying that it seems wrong to me to have to squeeze the frame as much is it seems in this case. I replaced the pivot tube and bolts. The old bushings were frozen to the tube and the tube was pivoting on the bolt. Seems like it wasn't pinched properly to lock it in place. I'll...

    swing arm shims?

    I can tell the the pivot tube is a few thou longer that the swingarm, so that when the frame tightens up it pinches and locks the pivot tube. I had an xs1b way back when and I put the bronze bushings in and seem to recall that it was a nice slip fit between the frame. I can see the shims as you...
