    He is not. If I recall correctly he changed jobs and didn’t have access to a CNC mill anymore. He got some quotes from machine shops but the price was just too high.

    Here’s what Al posted on a thread on Ice Junkies Facebook page today. I’m trying to get him to post here as well.

    Vexilar sells one. It fits over the rod holder. They break; the pivot pin connecting the two arms is plastic. I’ve broke two in 3 years. I don’t like using a float.

    If you know anyone with access to a CNC mill and some experience, they are fairly simple to make, ive made a few for friends, but wouldn’t ever want to be taking orders, too much other work

    I am looking to move the one that I previously purchased for my LX7 over to my lithium shuttle. I cannot get the freaking bolt off the the stock arm on the lithium shuttle. Anyone else switch this out yet?

    Aluminum bar stock, common hand tools, and a bolt with a nylock nut.

    Doesn’t anyone take shop class anymore?

    2nd that, pretty easy at home fab skills can make a useful swing arm
