Caliber trucks Plugs
While chopping down two tall barrel bushings, we thought that the cut off rests could be reused to make a pair of plugs.
The new generation of Calibers have a round KP hole, which makes the hangar free to lean. there is enough space to fit the plug, we just sanded a bit the paint on the bore.
After roughly cutting the bushing with a knife (definitely not the best way to do that!) we put the slice in the bushing seat. We marked the edges with a marker and trimmed with the knife again to the kp hole diameter. The slice is about 2/3 mm thick, we sanded and smoothed all the corners on the grip of a skateboard.
May pe patient sanding little by little and checking oftet if the plug fits the hangar hole. we used a very hard bushing, which was easier to cut and sand, and may last longer.
The plug avoids side-to-side play in the hangar. Combined with a good tight pivot cup, it should result in very precise lines and smoother slides. Will provide a feedback as soon as possible. DIY or BUY!
