Hi Vincent I have one piece left. We made them with a diameter of 13 mm to repair the damaged hole. You can grind it off, or adjust the hole in the pendulum.

Re: Wanted: 1928 OHV rocker spindle
Hello Karol, can I do it on a lathe or is grinding needed ?
As I have no grinding facility
and I made a mistake, they are 1/2 a inch not 5/8"
I'll PM you

it's tough. You have to grind it or enlarge the hole in the rocker arm

Re: Wanted: 1928 OHV rocker spindle
I used a spindle out of a later rocker box as I was missing a rocker spindle. It has a large boss on the non-oil feed end which I ground down lengthways so it was less obvious. Ground because its too hard to turn. It works in the 28 rocker box, and you really can't see it with the tank on

Hello Tony,
yes, thats what I just did.
As I have no grinding facility (but stubborn) I tried it on my lathe, it worked with a fresh insert.
but only when really feeding it, last 0.0 with a bit of emery paper
thread cut further and ofcourse spindle needs shortening at the grease end, and a bit on the other end .
test was with a worn spindle, next one for real..
