eiger Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Evening folks. We've got a decent but large sized chain splitter but I used to have a smaller bum-bag sized one with a 10mm bolt which is machined at the end for the chain pins and the overall size was less than a matchbox, anyone know where I can get another one from? Searched everywhere but no luck so far. Thanks Eiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has positive experience with one which type, I've gone through about half a dozen of the damn things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I know mean, if it is the same as mine it is a machined block of steel with a cut out for the chain to sit in, the pin is pushed out by a bolt. You used to get them from www.dirtbikestore.co.uk but they don't seem to sell them now. If it was for a specific trial (i.e SSDT) I'd be happy to lend you mine, or even if you knew a steel workers etc you could get it copied?

eiger Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks folks, had a look at that site but still don't show the one I had which was machined from a small block of steel and had a hardened steel machined bolt which pushed the pin out. Cheers for the offer Boofont but a mate (locally known as leafy!!) has one which used to be mine a while back so I can get that copied. Cracking bit of kit and better than lugging a full size splitter round with you. Eiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a small machined cube with a strong short bolt with the end machined narrow and was small enough that you could mount it on the clutch cable if you wanted to. I looked all over the Internet and didn't find one so I imagine that having one machined is the best bet. Handy little boogers they were, and I bet I've got one (or two) somewhere in my old gear. Good luck. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck. Jon I'm like Jon, had one many years ago, someone probably borrowed it! Along with the cable oiler(thankfully i don't need that)! The push pin has to be very hard tool steel and the body must be hard as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
