Took my newest axleplate injection dies to foundry yesterday. Been working on these newest models for the past 2-3 months . I will explain some changes from the axleplates I currently offer . The steel axleplates in image 4 are standard axleplates . The green wax models you see are a whole different animal . They look the same but are have major modifications. First is the lower rail hole , it has been increased in size to except 1-1/8” tubing . Top hole remains 1” . Next a juice brake tab has been added. These axleplates can be used with mechanical or juice brake . Remove what you don’t need or simple use what you need . Now for guys wanting to run disc brakes I have modified axle slot to accommodate 3/4” axle with no sleeve or the standard 7/8” slot . I will offer both axleplates in mild steel and stainless steel. Should have some back from foundry late November or early December. I want to say thanks to everyone that has ever ordered one of my parts . This has been a labor of love , I couldn’t fake my passion for making things . I started casting around 2006-7 . I had a three car garage , a few tools and machines. No deep pockets to finance my ambition. Wife stuck by my side never questioning me. That means a lot having a good woman covering my back. I’m very fortunate that my ambition turned into reality. I won’t go into all the years before HCI . It was total self made chaos. Cast parts changed everything. I’ll post more info once l pick up first batch . I do have some in stock , now of my original axleplates . Hit the comments if you want more info. Enjoy your week . Thanks again for everyone’s support. 🪓 John

New Axleplate injection molds heading to foundry this coming Monday . I’ve been producing replica Axleplates for almost 20 years . I get a lot of questions about tube sizes , hallmarks , juice brake tabs , lower rail hole increase to 1-1/8”. I want to thank everyone that has ordered from me , somewhere around 4000 set and counting . These new models have all the whistles and bell’s . Really happy to add them to my parts list . Notice the juice brake tab and a mechanical brake tab . Remove the one you don’t want or just leave them both . Been playing with this project for a couple of months , $5000 and a ton of work. I always say if you want something to happen, YOU have to make happen. I’ll have some ready before the Holidays. If you want on the list , send a message , some are spoken for . Thanks again for everyone’s support . Have a question hit me up . Will be cast in stainless and mild steel. Coming soon to a chopper near you 🪓🪓. Jg
