REAR SPRING MOUNTS

Notched for axle flip
Removing folding/caster mount
for weight  reduction

Clamping springs prior to unbolting not necessary.
They don't unload and go boing.
Removed locating pin. Taking out small spring.
Clean rust and scuff entire spring prior to an extra coat of paint.
Flip locating pin over. reassemble with double nut/lock washer
and Locktite.
Found this 3" x 1/4" Hard Rubber washer
in my junk drawer. Watch.


Well greased and installed should remove
slack and spring play rattle.
One leaf removed.
Locate pin reversed.
Extra paint.
Will both and weld to frame.
Not changing wheelbase. With this light weight
it shouldn't be necessary.
