Rear Spool Bung Replcement

[triggerhappy]

Any ideas on where I could get my hands on a 12mm bung? Spool and bung got mashed in a lowside and am trying to figure out where I could get a bung and/or where I could get it welded up. If anybody has done this an idea of the cost would be appreciated as well - I am in between going through the hassle of removing the swing arm and having it replaced or just going to a Lightech chain adjuster (nice piece but not cheap) with spool lift and save the hassle.

I think R&G have adjusters with spools for your bike too, and they are cheaper than Lightech. But maybe Z1 could fix you up.

I looked at those R&G ones, as well as the Trex versions, bigest issue with those is that (from what I can tell) they are only held on by the axle, so they would not work when removing the rear wheel...which for a track bike just wouldn't make sense.

I heard Z1 can do welding, i was hoping I could find a bung though so I wouldnt have to pay to machine a new piece.

You're right, they are held on with the axle. Why not call Z1, maybe they have a swingarm kicking around that they could cut a piece off of. Or just drill and tap a piece of aluminum and weld it on.

Ya I'd give Z1 a call
