Anyone ever try making their own frame sliders? I saw a post a few years ago where a guys said he made his own for about $ 4.00 with some material from Home Depot. However, he is not responding to his e-mail and I was curious what he did. Does anyone have any experience with this? Sounds interesing.

How did you do it?

 

[mysunnshine]

A lathe, delrin plastic, a piece of aluminum, and some time...

I tried that got some derlin sliders from ebay for about 10 buck, longer engine mounting bolts, but the problems is where and how did you relocate the coolant reservoir?

It goes right through it, If you get your sliders R&G racing ,they supply you with a new bottle, or there is the doit yourself method

When I get home, I'll tak a pic of how I did my coolant reservoir..

 

[mysunnshine]

I just used an overflow bottle from the Parts Unlimited catalog and made my own mount.

how did you mount your bottle? did you find the bottle on part unlimited online catalog?

 

[mysunnshine]

It's mounted on a pair of bosses on the engine case as I recall. The reservoir was in the printed catalog too...

i going have to look at the printed catalog can't seem to find the reservoir online.

i made these out of parts I found at a paint gun store. The are chromed billet, but the do have dirffrent styles and anazided colors. They fit in the stock holes on my 99

Those sliders are too long to work good. When you crash, there will be too much leverage due to the length and rip that little 4mm bolt right out of the frame...

 

[Blue99zx9r]

Yeah, i made them a little long, but i had the white delrin that
they made for zx9's and they were too short and the ripped rite off too. These I can trim and adjust as needed. Plus they were only 15 bucks a piece. I was gonning to use the engine mount bolt but i didn't want to cut another hole in the plastics.
