LST2 CVD on Savage?

[_paralyzed_]

I know you guys are trying to do this on the cheap, but the FLM widearm kit for the savvy is very stout and the dogbones have the lifetime warranty. I have them on my savvy and like them.

the whole point of this conversion was to use LST Hubs and CVDs and some sort of better hex system...

Firstly.. i have only heard gd things about the FLM Kit... and considering this savage im making isnt for mental jumps... i would probably consider it...

but i am against alloy arms for the obvious usual reasons...

BUT BUT BUT... maybe the extra half inch you get from the FLM Arms may actually allow the LST Hubs to work as the extended arms will give enough room for the CVDs???

What do you think linc??? obviously we wanted to do this on the cheap... but do you that would work?

If you like al arms I am sure it is the hot ticket, but I do not like al arms. Plus it is fun to figure stuff out.

Yeah, the main benefit from doing this is to get a bigger stronger axle, preferably with bigger stronger wheel bearings. Addl width is not really a huge concern of mine, cause we will only end up with about 1/2" more per side when using the lst2 cvds. Not sure if the flm kit retains the same wheel attachement as the stock savage, but from what I have read the stock savage wheel attachment is undesirable as it breaks under stress.

Linc, thank you very much for the effort! I didnt expect you would go this far to try this method. You are the man!!
Definitely will wait for the updates on the cen parts!

No prob, took me longer to find the parts in my mess (workshop) than it did to mod them. I do wonder if there is a truggy cvd that could be used with the lst hubs and stock savvy arms. The cvd is the expensive part so if we could just buy that it would make the conversion cheaper.

I will do some research.

I know, I know. I just wanted to be included in this thread and had nothing else to offer.

FWIW the dogbones are much stronger. I prefer plastic arms myself.

I hope the CEN stuff works.
