Replicating those spline teeth would be REAL tricky...

I made a spline forming tool from an old /5 brake part. The dims. are the lead and the final size. The hole should be about .430 or so. Push the tool through with lube, clean and relube and push it back through. 6061 t6 is a good alloy for forming. Disclaimer--This worked for me, do not try this at home.

Robert, you da MAN!! Extra points for using a part of the bike to make a tool...

Start making a batch of longer brake arms please?? I would be first in line to buy a set!

Don't do it, Robert. Making your own brake parts is totally cool. Making them for others is a horrible liability lawsuit just waiting to happen.

Thank you MS. I wasn't planning to. Just a bit of info for those that want to make them.-----Sorry JJ--RG

He could loan you his splining tool though.

I think the point is that there is one (the tool)on your bike.

With a big enough hammer it would surely do the job!

(I guess a person could "cheat" and heat up the to-be-splined brake arm to red hot first.)

SORRY NO PHOTO YET

I used 1 set.. my welder buddy made a set 1" longer

I bolted 1 side to a table an hung 40lb 1 part broke as the waight was on it the other is holding this minute

in thin plane this weight test should produce a sound part if it holds, as it works in the thick plane in operation

I see this project has turned some certain interesting ideas in mfg an libility

as its your bike an your work the falit can only be the one rideing it

I never seen a group so intent on fring the cook as beemer heads
