im taking a 31K swinger and mating it to an LC top loop.I really like the look of the 'JMC','METMATCHEX',swingers but dont fancy spending all the money.My aim is to end up with a lookalike swinger that will be a bolt in one and it will enable me to use a F1 wheel and brake set up without any mods to the frame.It will use the standard LC shock.Its not a new idea by any means but i thought it might be interesting to some to see whats involved and what problems may arise.

[ ] this pic shows the 31K with the extra bracing removed.IT uses this on the valve model because the stesses are relayed to the shock differently.On my version it dosent really need this and i prefer the smoother look.On removal it shows just how rusty these old things can get [ ]

[ ] dodgy lighting but this piccy is supposed to illustrate the different lengths of swingers on the RDs...LC...31K n F1...getting longer with each one... [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] thats about it for now...ive got to trim down the rear of the LC swinger n get it in a position to offer it up to the 31K properly then tack it in place n take some measurements to check alls well...

theres quite a bit of work involved by the looks of it scott...not least of which is the fact that the later swingers were wider at the frame pivot... ...
