Yes, thats solid stock and it runs through the tubing, the entire length. Each end of it is threaded. I have drilled holes in the bottom of the swing arm and then soaked in PB, then heat and repeat. The last one I did I cut a slit in the bottom of the tubing and that helped shave some time from the process. It needs, well it really should be freed up, that way when the swing arm is bolted tight it can still "swing".. Once you have it hot you can drop a drift down inside of the threaded hole and pound on the drift, use a piece of 7/8
.095 tubing as your anvil and you can pound the pivot down through that piece of tubing. I've done a few, and practically destroyed a couple swing arms in the process but the method described seems to work with out messing anything up. Everyone I've done has been a major PITA but when it's done and you bolt up the swing arm, and it's nice and smooth you will realize it was worth it. :thumbsup:
This one is not from a Little Indian but it's the same deal.
