Title: Looking for Vector 2 spare part
Post by: Shaitaan on February 04, 2015, 02:24:30 pm

I was disassembling to rebuild the Vector 2 on my 756 frame recently, and when removing the top leg pivot bolts, one end of the adjustable pivot mount (one of the elliptical ends, approximately 1" deep) snapped off, leaving no way to fix or safely use that mount to reassemble and ride on that fork.  Is there anyone that may have a spare available? I would really hate to trash the fork or disassemble the whole thing for spares, and have to find another girvin fork for this frame. please PM me if someone does, thanks.

I borrowed someone else's close up,  the mount broke approximately where the yellow "x" is in the picture

I don't have any spares like that. Just keep an eye on eBay as there's always spares coming up for sale.

Think I have one or two lying around if you end up stuck, would only want cost of postage .

Only one I could find was pretty worn on the eccentric boss so no go there.  My other fork I tore apart is worn as well so not much help there.

Thanks Craig I appreciate the search.  Simon, that would work for me too, so you can pm me if you do have a spare lying around. Its so sad that the Proflex era has gotten to the point where some critical spares aren't there unless you have them custom made which can be extremely expensive...and they do not show up often enough for a rebuild project when it's critical. I've had the same problem when dealing with specific parts for some of my archery gear (namely Golden Eagle)... the Bows are in immaculate condition, but there are no spare parts at all to be found.

Very sorry it appears I've already given them away, I knew I had given one away but looks like it was both.
Here's all I have left regarding a Vector fork.
