Need adjusters

[billco]

Can anyone tell me where I can get 2 of these axle adjusters for a 5/8" axle for a Mini Bike?
I have searched Ebay, local shops etc with no success for this size.
Picture is attached.
Thanks in advance.

i dont know if u have tryed to fix that one

but it looks home made

it is a 5/8 washer welded to a bolt

you can use stanley eye hooks for that

The I.D. of the eyelets is not particularly precise. Way off 5/8" to be sure. Crappy, ungraded metal, too.

If factory ones cannot be had, better to make them with a precisely sized section of tube, and a grade 5 or 8 bolt.

Looks like you need a chain tensioner made for BMX bikes:

Doesn't need to be precise, just needs to pull the axle back to tension the chain.

Agreed. But I know for a fact (used 'em) that the 3/8" rod sized ones have a HUGE eye, like 1 1/4 or bigger- and that'll just look like he// on a 5/8" axle. Functional, sure- but redneck lookin'.

If one had a torch and something to do forging on( an anvil or a piece of rail track), u could make a few pretty easily out of a couple of bolts and drill a hole through them.
