Propeg Mounts

[Natertot426ex]

Hey Pappy!! I have seen where you can have propeg mounts welded onto the frame Can you explain how this is done? I may be interested in seeing if I can have someone local do it for me if it is a good Idea on my 400ex. Thanks

[Pappy]

basically you do away with the mount at the footpeg and the cross bar mount in the front. we use chromoly and weld them in place making it a solid mount set up. its not that hard, and anyone can do it if they can weld.

DO you have any pictures with this done just so that I can get a look at it. Maybe see what wall thickness I should use on the tubing. Thanks.

[Pappy]

no i sure dont, we do not get much call for this anymore. id measure the thickness of an existing nerf mount and go from there. i know on a few of the yfz's we have had to cut a hole in the main up tube so that we could get a higher degree of strength for the rear mount. if i get a chance i will try and get you afew pics

Well I will see what Can do. The reason I am wanting to do this is to see if I can get a little lower peg out of it. I have AC propegs with the heal guard and am trying to find a way to get the peg a little lower. I am pretty tall so If I could lower the peg a little I would be much happier.

[Pappy]

have you tried flipping the mounts over?

[Natertot426ex]

I have not done that yet but I have heard that it ends up hanging below the frame which could be bad incase I case it or something putting stress on the frame. I guess I just need to try it out and see what happens.

Ok Now I have a couple more questions.

I am going to PC my frame here soon and was wondering Where you buy your powder from. The colors I am looking for are Coca-cola red (baron red?) Same thing? Mirror Black, Stealth black.


I have looked at columbia coatings and Eastwood and cant seem to find exactly what I am looking for.

Also. I am looking into some differnt guns. I am really interested in the Hot Coat gun from Eastwood. It seems to be a good gun. What is your opinion on guns.

Sorry for so many questions. I am just trying to get into pcing. It seems like a fun thing to do!!

Thanks:macho

the pro gun from eastwood is ok and will work for most people doing this as a hobby etc, i use a box feed commercial 100kv gun and it works wonderfully. new they run about $4k
