Title: Heel Guards w/o Nerf Bars
Post by: F-Red on April 26, 2019, 10:11:23 PM: I’ve searched. Can’t find a manufacture that makes this style any more.

Loren, can we make it so?

Post by: F-Red on April 27, 2019, 03:57:39 PM: I totally understand, Loren. I’m a little overzealous and frustrated. Need my Heel Guards!
All we need is that one guy, with a Job Shop. That’s willing.

Post by: The norm on April 27, 2019, 04:13:42 PM: Me and a buddy have been talking about taking the leap and starting a small machine/fab shop. He is a fantastic machinist and I am a decent welder/fabricator. It's just scary to leave a job that gives you a paycheck two weeks

Post by: Hawaiiysr on April 27, 2019, 09:22:59 PM: Very understandable.

I have always wanted a set or 2 of ims heal guards. They command so much $$$.

Post by: Action69 on April 28, 2019, 04:17:12 PM: Good suggestion.They would probably make the heal guard without the net being their stuff is handmade .I spoke to them in the past and he seemed pretty accommodating..

Post by: F-Red on May 11, 2019, 06:14:10 AM: Anybody know Jason Moore? (PDXTRX) Can somebody search for him on Facebook? We was going to fabricate several items, including heel guards. I know I’m reaching, thought I would give it a shot. Thanks.

Post by: Hawaiiysr on May 11, 2019, 04:07:44 PM: I thought he was out of the game. Got all pissed with the flakes that didn't want to pay. I don't blame the guy. Last I heard about him, he made the is awesome arched swingarm and the guy he built it for slapped another builders logo on it.

Post by: Hawaiiysr on May 11, 2019, 04:27:22 PM: I found this on line. Has a number also. Worth a shot.

Post by: F-Red on May 11, 2019, 05:16:02 PM: Thanks for the tidbit Josh. I had no idea that was the case. I’m trying to explore all options.

Post by: 2Nubs on May 11, 2019, 11:36:05 PM: I’m no pro so I doubt I could build them for money, but I think I might try to build a set for my quad.

I have an Eastwood tubing bender and a welder. That last pic looks very simple.
