"Galacized" Bennett 4.3's coming soon!

I'm busy working on a "Galacized" Bennett 4.3 truck..
It's going to have a custom painted baseplate and
the recessed lettering in the hanger is painted to match.
The hangers have been heavily faced, and the bushing
seats on both sides of the hanger have been sanded,
buffed, smoothed out. The entire hanger is sanded,
and buffed smooth, to a dull satin finish.
It will have a custom bushing setup with Nylon
washer on the bottom, and a Grade 8 flatwasher.
And it will have Khiro spacers.
The pivot cup is replaced with a sanded and buffed
Khiro pivot cup.. The pivot cup is then lubricated
with a special silicone grease that takes out all squeaks
and noise and make the movement within the pivot
smoother and more fluid.
There will also be a very small spacer on the kingpin
between the top and bottom bushings that is
approxiamtely 1/8" tall, it creates a union between
the two bushings, and helps create more rebound..
These trucks will be smoother and more fluid than
an off the shelf Bennett..
I plan on selling these in very limited runs. The will come
in red, yellow, grape, blue, orange, pink, green.
These are kind of like a Bennett (Deluxe)
I will photos ready by tomorrow..
No price yet, but I plan on keeping them affordable.
