well, it's official
i had spoken to james (norman420) about his spindles about a month ago, and was informed he was hanging it up, no more hydro spindles, as he is pursuing some new ventures, and wouldn't have time for both
i responded that this was a sad day for the blaster community, as his spindles were the shizzle, and thanked him for providing an awesome product to alot of us looking to save a few bucks versus the high $$$ +03 hydro parts
well one thing led to another during that conversation, and i was informed he would be sending me everything he had, so i may, or find someone, to carry on the legend that is .... norman420 hydro spindles
that day has arrived, as i received a package today, that includes way more than i ever expected, he even sent the taps, dies, reamers, loads of hydro parts, tons of bolts/nuts, patterns, a whole bag of the bushings used, < custom made tools to install those
hydro lines, front wheel bearings, and even a complete set of the famous spindles to use as a guide to building these
am i capable of pulling this off alone, without a mill, and some way to cut out the caliper bracket ??? highly doubtful
i sure would like to see this great product carry on on for the blaster community, and thats quite possibly why this was hoisted onto my shoulders ???
i definately didn't agree to this for the money, as i knew without making all the pieces myself, and having to outsource them, and keep a competetive price, would leave very little profit
i will be taking this whole box of parts/pieces to oconnors with me at the end of the month to see what we can come up with, that keeps them affordable
but i'm surely open to any suggestions, ideas or help anyone would like to offer ???
but for now, norman420 spindles are off the market, and i'm sure james would appreciate his email and PM boxes not be full of messages about spindles he no longer makes
so no more refering customers to norman420, or me for that matter, until further notice
as soon as I, or whoever, figures out a way to carry this on, I will post those results
what I received today.............
