OK, cross your fingers, I hope that below the pictures attach ok here. In the first picture that shows the individual pieces, the pin on the right hand side is the Eagnas supplied pin. I did not use this pin. I used the 6mm dia bolt on the left side with the nut that I made up. The nut you see in the pic is in its rough state but it gives you an idea of the step in it to match the dia of the existing hole in the side bar. I shortened and radiused my nut once I proved it worked ok.
The last pic shows it being used in anger with a racquet mounted. The largest racquet I have mounted so far is a 107 cu-in Prince one and there was a little bit of free play left, but not a lot. I think that some 110 racquets may push this to its limits ! I find these side mounts very good to use in practise and nice and solid.

Your pictures don't have the right code.





Wow! a Pro-Kennex machine!

Fixed your code.

Exactly what i was looking for. Would i be able to buy these parts off of Eagnas's website? Sorry i keep asking so much questions.

Ok , as you have seen already one of the other posters kindly made my pics appear here
No, don't think you can order direct off their website. Well I never saw those bits there anyway. So I just dealt direct by email .
Their description is as follows:

Universal V-shaped shoulder support - plastic $6.00 ea

Stem - V-shaped shoulder support, each $6.00 ea

(Both for model EAG-700 stringer)
The piece they call the "stem" is that stepped pin in the right side of the picture of mine. You may elect not to purchase that part !

The lady I dealt with at Maxline (Eagnas) was Michele and she was helpful. And the email is maxline@eagnas.com

Hmm. Ok, i will plan on purchasing these parts but first, a couple questions.

1) How long did it take to ship?
2) Did you see a significant advantage with the shoulder supports?
3) Do they charge shipping?
4) Do they get in the way when stringing?

(1) There was a 2 week delay from when I ordered until the items shipped ex Eagnas store. I think they had to order those bits in ex their factory in Taiwan or China, which is fine. No money was charged against my Visa card until the day the items shipped to me. Everything was done above board.

(2) I don't rate the shoulder supports as a "significant" advantage to me. But I like them I find this stringer to be so rigidly made and with such positive clamp downs at the 6 and 12 o'clock positions, that its difficult to imagine a racquet being pulled shorter than unstrung length (while in the stringer), when pulling the mains. So to my uneducated eye, whether you strung with or without these side supports would not be a big deal.

(3) Yes, they charge shipping, which is fair enough. Since I live in New Zealand my shipping would be quite a bit more than what you will pay, so I cant quote you their USA rates.

(4) No, I don't notice them getting in the way at all when stringing. But I am not a super fast wizz-kid in stringing, so maybe such a stringer may catch a string on a support now and then.

Ok. As of right now, I'm currently making some of my own supports with some spare nuts and bolts i had. And also thinking about using my scrap unused replacement grip for some padding. I guess ill see if my supports help or not. If they don't, ill pick up some Eagnas ones.

EDIT: What would i be able to do to remove this part? Its getting in the way with my "Homemade" side supports and the plastic piece when stringing like an APD

I think you are referring to the flat plastic plate on the end of the side support arm. It serves no purpose once you have V block side supports as the racquet is held between the 2 sides of the V now.
This plate is help on with two aluminium pop rivets. They remove quite easily if you use a drill a bit wider than the inside dia of the rivet. Just drill down lightly keeping an eye on things and as you proceed the top-hat of the rivet will just fall off. You then just use a round punch or tool to gently tap the remained of the rivet down and out. Just take it easy when you do it and will be no problem. Stick a block of wood under each arm to take the weight while you are drilling.
All the best.

Errrr. I popped off straight through the rivet and used my drill, and all that happened was that the rivet hole got bigger.

OK Andy, it looks like its time to get out your big bushmans axe, and smack that little plastic thingy off the end of the side support arm .... haha

Hmmm better not !! ok just use a drill slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the head of the rivet then. Drill size is not crucial. Go down gentle with the drill and the rivet head will pop off ... follow your nose after that.
Good Luck.

Ok this is still not working. Do i go from the top of the side support and drill down? or from the bottom and drill up?
