AR WTB- Coy Wheel center cap spacers

[jackyl9999]

WTB- A pair of aluminum spacers for the center cap on a Coy C-5 wheels. I have seen several sets that have been made on the board. I have tried to get some made locally with no luck. So if you have a extra set let me know.


Thanks,
Steve

Guys if i still worked at my previous employer i could hook you up.
I made the 1st set and have the cad file if anyone needs it.
just shoot me an email

I have access to CNC machines. I would like to see the cad file and might consider making these for board members if material and shipping is covered.
I have made many parts for members and like to help out when I can. Usually, the biggest problem is finding the time.

[Zoomin]

Me too.

[jackyl9999]

Looks like the interest is there for someone willing to make a batch. I'm first in line!

[skeeterbug]

put me in for a pair as well pending on price and all.

That be them ! I made 4 ( one for each wheel ) so that all wheels look the same, but I am just an*l like that. Made mine out of 1/4" aluminum, you will need to get longer mount screws as well. If I remember correctly I got #10-32 x 5/8 Socket Flat Head screws in Stainless steel.

So does this space the center cap out on the front to miss the spindle? Is it not noticeable when you look at it? I'm having a hard time understanding where/why you need them? I'm also looking at the Coys for my kids truck.
thanks

The center caps contact the bearing cap as you tighten the lugs. If you're lucky, the caps will bulge and not break, but even so the gap looks bad.

[jackyl9999]

I need those spacers bad!! Its the first question people ask me about my truck. " Did your wheels not come with center caps?"

[mcbassin]

I did a quick simulation, it looks like about 6-10 minutes to cut them on the mill. Maybe quicker depending how rigid the setup turns out. I will need to make a quick fixture and after that all I need is material. I did find a place to order it online: here

What are you using for material?
I may have a source for 1/4" aluminum, in small scrap pieces.
How big would each piece need to be?

[mcbassin]

I was thinking 6061 alum. 4"X4"X.25" thick should be plenty. Let me know what you come up with.

Steve,
This is from page one. Not 100% sure on the size but it looks like the need to be about a 1/4" longer than the originals.

[lolife99]

Let me look tonight.

[skeeterbug]

cool, sound as if progress is being made on a much need part for all us runnin coy wheels.

[lolife99]

I will have some 1/4" aluminum headed mcbassin's way in a couple days.
Maybe enough for 15 pair of spacers.

[big_al_71]

I would also be interested in a pair.....Thanks Guys

an abrasive water jet machine is a LOT more cost efficient making these ...

[Zoomin]

[Hart_Rod]

What are these going to cost? I have a local place that has a waterjet that does stuff real reasonable. I could get them to give us a quote if I had one sample. Let me know.
