Axle alignment jig ?

ricks · Feb 19, 2013

I have been thinking about purchasing an Axle alignment jig, so i thought maybe someone could point me in the right direction on where to purchase one. I have found a few online but thought I would ask here.

Not sure if this guy is still building this stuff but he is local too. Go to the last post on the last page, his name is Duffy and his number is 360-649-4465.

Funny you post this right now, I started building mine today.

What are you planning on using your jig for? Spindles or flanges? FF or SM?

PM Tom (tomsbrokeagain). He has one that he has used on my 8.8 and a few other axles.

Duffy is who made the doubler for my Ranger, and seems to do really good work, from what I can tell.
I've heard he can be a pain to get ahold of though.

I gave up years ago. Good work dont mean **** if folks dont know your alive.

I coulda sold a half dozen of them doublers if he would answer a phone. This was back when he pushed them at the swap meet.

I havent heard that name again till today.

Yup, pain in the ass to get a hold of. I called and left 5-6 messages and he didn't return one of my calls. Its the norm from him as more than a few have experienced the same thing.

I must have got lucky, I talked to him today for almost an hour, I barely got a word in the whole time.......Anyway he is selling me a jig for $260 it comes with a 4' bar and 3 pucks and a SRW 14 bolt for $50.

Maybe he is starting to take customer service serious. If so about time.
