221 system Universial chassis?

[ajlapp]

I few things on 221's website seem out of stock. Does anyone know if they're planning to re-stock them? I'm specifically interested in the super shifter conversion plates.

The Supershifter and Toughbox mounts for our Superlight chassis are now in stock, just changed them.

The Supershifter mount for the Universal Chassis will be back in stock in time for kickoff.....as will all of our chassis products.

If someone could manufacture the flanged sliding bearing plates for a WCD-type drive, I'd have a much better chance of convincing our team to do WCD. We can mill the slots in 2x1 very nicely. However, making a 1.125" hole that doesn't have so much slop the bearing won't stay in ... that's a whole other story.

We make the bearing holes in our chassis rail using decided low-tech methods. We use a standard silver and demming 1" drill and then follow that with a 1.125" reamer. This generates a slip fit. No need for a press as the bearings are trapped in place with the rest of the running gear. If you can make a nice pocket, then you should definitely be able to make a nice bearing hole.

You could buy the bearing blocks we use in our Universal Chassis if you wanted to make a live axle setup.
