• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

    Bill, The main frame is made from 0.100" x 0.7" x 7.0" aluminum bent to form a 3" overall length. The threaded rod is just some 5/16" fine all thread that I had. The entire unit is 4" total length. The square steel piece that grabs the pinion is indeed steel tubing. David

    Puller to remove central stem from front plate.
