Zillaguy Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 I have a Boss carrier and a new Tyson swinger. When i install the carrier into the swinger, the brake stay is loose. How is everyone keeping it tight up against the carrier? Is there supposed to be a wave washer between the carrier and brake stay, that keeps it tight against the snap ring? Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Stays loose. It has to rotate as you tighten it. Quote
Zillaguy Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 I know it's supposed to float, but it just seems excessive. Quote
possum Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 The swinger has nothing to do with the looseness of the brake stay. The brake stay has the carrier itself on one side and the snap ring on the other. So that gap is the gap regardless of swingarm. Does the brake stat have a notch ground in from rubbing either side?

Zillaguy Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 It's brand new. With the snap ring installed there is a gap between the snap ring and brake stay. There is definitely enough space for a wave spring washer to be in there taking up the slack. Quote
Zillaguy Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 The swinger is perfect, this is definitely an issue with the carrier. Quote
possum Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Its a boss carrier, thats the reason. 1 Quote

possum Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 JJA or modquad are prabably the best. Quote
Zillaguy Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Posted October 13, 2015 I ordered a JJ&A.. i should have known that Boss was junk, but i got the carrier for $50 from a friend, it was new, but still China garbage. 1 Quote
bluebanshee98 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Jja Carrier all the way. Even the eBay ones are junk and fitment is bad Quote
