Different springs

[hehe2]

Is it possible to attach springs from another brand, like for ex powerizers to powerrisers ?

[Sprog]

Simply, Yes

[hehe2]

I have the powerisers atm so simply buying the powerskips spring, will work like a charm?

Should have done that from the start

[Sprog]

The holes in the springs will need widening slightly but yeah, it's perfectly doable. Martin explains it here:

Re interchangeable: I said minor adjustments are required. For instance I argee that PowerSkip springs have smaller wholes for the screw=axis where they are connected with the foodpad. There are two possibilities: 1) Drill the whole bigger (in this metall connection part, a kind of angle steel, I hope you know what I mean) in order that Poweriser screws fit into the Powerskip wholes. Or 2) Replace the angle-steel of the PowerSkip with the angle-steel of the Poweriser and it works also, that is what I did. All I needed where some stainless screws and shims which you can by everywhere.

pendragon did it by getting smaller bolts which is also a valid option

[zerocool]

the smaller bolts are the way to go
you dont have to worry that you will damage
the skip springs 600$ or 650$
the bolts that work are the  5mm size for skips

the only thing you cant do i S rex springs apparently they are way to different for the frame

[Sprog]

BBBB has a point, the S-Rex springs are a bit wider in both dimensions so won't fit.
You could plane them down I guess but could be a bit dogey if you hit the spring

heres what pendragon did

I recall XS getting X-Rexes on his Powerisers with little trouble.  He just had to either cut off the tubing where it goes into the upper hoof or remove the spacer, maybe both, but nothing hard at all.

Sorry, but you're misinformed.  Both myself and XarnuSonci both have S-Rex Type X springs on poweriser advanced stilt frames.

I had to make a very minor "adjustment" to the vertical support frame with a dremel rotary cutting tool however.

o sorry i thought this was a new post sorry for the bump

[Mr Frank]

smells like spam, but may be honest...

Anyway, XS or Dom, can you post a description with a picture or two what you had to do?  I'm considering ordering some S-Rex type Rs for my Powerisers, but I'm a little short on tools and I wanna know if I can do it.  I'm only 72kg, and I'm wondering if I should just get T-Rexes instead anyway.  I can bottom out my old PR7090s any time I want, but it isn't particularly easy.
