Anyone know where I can find a sideplate for my 1982 Marrs S10. The rear leg hole has stripped. ( not the leg- all legs wobble in
this hole.) Not side plate with window, so easy fix if I can find the part.
This is the first Marrs S10 Dwayne made. Serial #0032. Had Sho Pro undercarrige rebuild by Dwayne and Jeff Surratt shortly before Dwayne's death. This is a very special Steel to me and I would appreciate any help in finding this part.
Call or text Ken at 407 497-2443. Thanks |

It's unlikely you'll find a replacement end plate, but the stripped leg socket can be repaired. You can drill it out, re-tap it at a larger thread size then use a threaded insert to return it to the original size (probably 1/2-13). Look here: https://www.mcmaster.com/threaded-inserts/thread-size~1-2-13/.
Another approach is to drill a larger hole and fill it with a piece of solid aluminum dowel, then drill and tap that to the correct size. Any machine shop can do that sort of work, or if you're handy and have a good drill press and taps you could do it yourself.
Good luck!

Ken, somewhat off topic: Were you and I bandmates with Ira Allen at Mesquite, Nevada, in the mid '80s? And back in Nashville you took me to meet Duane?
Apologies if I have the wrong guy!
