Buying Oakley Half X Parts

[Username Hidden]

So I just picked up a Half X and it needs a new left spring hinge and the screw is stripped.

If anyone has a parts Half X that they would like to sell to me that would be great.

If anyone needs a right arm or any other parts send me a PM and I hopefully I can help another member out to bring a dead frame back to life.

The frame I have is Carbon with BIP.

Thanks

Sucks about that paperweight of yours. Hopefully there are parts out there.

I don't have springs but I do have the screws.

Can't help you with parts, but here's some info which might help you resolve your issue..

BHarry mentioned purchasing a repaired Half-X which used a Hatchet as a donor HERE
An Scarface provided a walk-through on a Hatchet Repair Thread utilizing a Razr Wire as a donor

So there's two more possible donors you can utilize for sourcing parts... maybe?

If the plate is missing/broken as well you might try to fab up your own as JetIntakePort did..

I did a thing! (broken Half-X)

So, I managed to find a BNIB Plasma/Ice Polarized Half-X a few months ago. Everyone knows the weak link in the frame are the spring hinges. I figured I wanted to try and find a broken frame for sale so that I could have some spare parts if I ever needed em. Last week I came across a buy it now...

Awesome. Thanks for digging in the archives for me!!!! I did a couple quick rudimentary searches with no luck so I went to posting a buying thread. I will keep an eye on the bay and my other option is to make a new one myself like those guys did. I am quite crafty so I should be able to knock the work out.

I’ll let you guys know how it goes!!!!

I had them bookmarked already, since I'd previously considered picking up a pair for restoration but it didn't work out. The plate seems easy enough to make, sourcing a spring w/o spending a ton is the tough part - there was a guy a while back who had a bunch of new razr wires for cheap; if I find his listing I'll forward it to you

Damn....didn’t see it. I guess I could sell mine on the bay. For $100 I’ll be alright

Those screws are a pain to remove. I gave up with the one in mine. Best of luck bud. Maybe @zwc0442 can remove the screw for you?
