Jet Upper Outer Trunnion

Hi everyone, does anyone have a trunnion for a Jet? I called Dave Kostansek and he doesn't have any. Any suggestions would be appreciated--I need to replace one on my car. Thanks

Dave, these can be reclaimed, depending on whether the one you have is hardened or not. Some are, some aren't. If you have one that a hacksaw will cut, then you cut a longitudinal slit along the length of the threaded portion, then in large vice compress the threads inwards until it is a tight fit on the bolt. Grind a V along the cut, not too deep that you are interfering with the threads, and carefully arc weld right along. This shrinks the thread down to fit the bolt. I have odne this to both sides of my Jet, successfully.

Geoff, thanks for the info on the repair. I will give it a try and report back, sounds fairly simple as long as I can get a good weld. Thanks for your help. Gary, I called and left a message asking you to find out if there are any available from Bill and Charlies. Thanks to you both for the reply.
