Suspension Vise Jaws MTB Add-on Kit
Description
NEW! 11-2023
TMVJ 065MA
This is an add-on to the TMVJ 065 Vise Jaws for use on MTB forks. It includes a Support Pin and two Protection Sleeves.
The Support Pin fits into the holes in the end of the Vise Jaws and keeps the fork from rotating. The Protection Sleeves get wrapped around the fork tubes to keep them from getting beat up. This is simple and easy to use. With the Support Pin the forks do not require much pressure to hold.
If you already have earlier TMVJ 065 Vise Jaws and they don't have holes in the end you can modify them by drilling 1/2" holes 1.1" deep (or maybe it's time for a new set of jaws).
