Ron Chuck Shock Mounts

[Greg Bruns]

I have called Ron Chuck Engineering several times with no return call. Does anyone have a Left side mount that I can buy? I will buy several pairs if I can.

[Bob Posner]

It's nearly impossible to get Ron to call back. I know the last run of mounts is long since sold. Scott Meyer who posts here makes a nice similar mount.

[Greg Bruns]

If anyone can post a contact for Scott Meyer, or a picture of his mounts, I would really appreciate it.

Greg,

We have a single upper mount lying around somewhere, so let me check on which side it is and get back to you.

We have these if your interested. A vee is coming into the shop later this week, we could fit them to that chassis.
Just would need to know what bolt sizes you want for shock and mount.
$20 and pay for shipping, they're yours.

[Greg Bruns]

I have a similar set but they move and bend. I may have to precisely model some so I can have them CNC'd. A lot of work unless someone has all that geometry.

Thanks for trying!

[HayesCages]

Your shocks must be pretty stiff.

Unfortunately, the machinest that was making the shock mounts for me went out of business and took all the CNC programing information with him.

I looked into having other suppliers make the mounts but it just wasn't cost effective.

Tiago Santos was CNC'ing shock mounts not too long ago with a machine he had personally. Try contacting him and see if he can still make them. He was a pretty frequent apexer so his contact info shouldn't be too hard to find

[Tiago Santos]

I'm here.. I made a few sets using Scott's mounts as a template. Had to make changes to my fixtures and the CNC code since the first setup was pretty inefficient, and just ran out of time to finish the new fixtures, etc. I have some ideas on making the mounts better, lighter and easier to machine, but I don't know when/if I'll get around to it, especially now that my Vee is gone.

[Greg Bruns]

Mark,
Any luck finding that mount?

Tiago Santos,
Would you be willing to let me finish the code & fixture?

[Amon]

Greg,

I found two upper mounts ( L & R), but I know I have a single in one of my containers and will verify tonight. I was removing the pan from my Citation last night and got side tracked except I found the pair farly easily. We'll work out something if I can't locate the single mount ...

Tiago - your mounts have been perfect. Great guality and fit perfect. Thank you.

[Greg Bruns]

Mark,
Did you find out which single mount you have?
Mitchell Ferguson & I are going to play at Road Atlanta so I need to find one & get it to him in Roanoke by the end of next week since I have one set and he has none.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,

Sent you a PM!

Greg,

I have a new set that I got from Ron several years ago, they have never been installed; also included is the hardware kit that Ron provided. Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks.

I have a set of what appear to be Ron Chuck shock mounts on my Vista Bushwacker. I will plead my ignorance, but ask for an "education."

What do the "Ron Chuck shock mounts" do?

I will now get out of the way and let the fun begin.

They move the shock behind the beam upright, out of the wind stream.
