TrickTrucks..Need the old cheapskate arm mounts

I've been digging all over to find accurate models for the old cheapskate arm mount (prior to the injection molded version) and I'm not having any luck.

Does anyone know where to get these or have a CAD file for them (STEP or IGES)?

I have a set of tricktrucks ready to install, but can't as the new IM design is a different mount. Thanks in advance.

I'm not a GitHub pro, but I'm sure there's a way to roll back the version and get the file that you're looking for.

I'm sure there's also a bunch of guys with new balljoint arms that could sell you their old ones.

Ha..it was just updated 6 days ago. I'm assuming these files may have the Injection molded version.

Anyone else out there have any ideas?

Is this the part your looking for

https://github.com/seemecnc/RostockMAX/ ... 0Mount.STL

You can get any version of a file that has ever existed on github, you have to look at the commits then view the repo at that point in time.
Having said that the part you wanted wasn't ever in the V2 repo.

I think that might be it. Thank you!!

I was just about done with designing a alternative version quickly to print up tonight to check some dimensions.

So I'll try them both.

Looks a little different. That file is probably the printed prototype from before they had the injection molds ready.

You may have to modify the original model if you've got the clip style arms. The original version had 4 'towers' and completely enclosed the U-Joints (the black one in the photo). The version for the clip style arms was the same part with the outside two towers just sawed off (the blue one).

Thanks.

I'm printing both the old one and my new one right now.
