2 point jig maintenance
« on: April 02, 2008, 01:24:44 PM »
Anyone ever had to repair one of these?  1 of my handles is not tight enough when i lock it and i need to tighten it.  Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Thanks to everyone who has sent pms!!  Heres the latest....

Ive messed with the screw going to the rubber tip all night and tried every position and still not tight.  To me it seems like its got to be the actually clamp part.  Like i said the one you really have to push down and is pretty sturdy.  The loose one just sits there and clamps and unclamps with no pressure.  Also if you shaking the handle in east and west directions its real loose compared to the tight side

OHBowler,

I have rebuilt many Rudell style jigs such as yours. It sounds as though the clamp (sometimes referred to as a Sta-co clamp) is worn out.

Innovative Bowling (tell John Jamieson that I sent you) or Jaywawk Bowling Supply carries new clamps, stoppers, etc. If you're going to replace one, then you might as well do both sides.

I hope that this helps!

Thanks guys i just bought new ones.  Apple they were those only they were the red ones.    Out of curiosity do they the the x/y portion of the jig anywhere?  Or are they custom built?

Innovative carries the x-y parts for the Rudel jigs.
