Maybe i should leave mine as it is. It works. No knocks. Kinda "if it ain't broke don't f#*k with it!"

Re: Prop question

Re: Prop question
If the springs are good and the perches are at the factory angle then you shouldn't need any wedges, I would still check the angles with an angle finder though to make sure

Re: Prop question
Good job!
I presume the wedges you made still allow the locating pins to be used? I wouldn't like to run without the pins holding the axle in the correct location

Re: Prop question
Yes. Basically made the wedge out of the right width box steel then welded a plate with a hole in to locate on spring but wedged are welded to perches.

Re: Prop question
How big was the wedge that you had to make? With good springs and perches at the original angle it should only be out a few degrees at most really?

Re: Prop question
Yeah just in time for the snow. Like I said I've made up the rear spring by adding some leafs from a transit for now but will sort out some new spring shortly. Then ill flex it up and have a final sort out.Jordi wrote:Jobs a good'un. Pleased you got it sorted it bud.

They was 20mm at the back to nothing. Don't ask me how I made this major cock up in the first place.ScottieJ wrote:How big was the wedge that you had to make? With good springs and perches at the original angle it should only be out a few degrees at most really?
