The age old reversed eye spring question
The age old reversed eye spring question
I know it has been asked before and I tried to search for it but didn't see it. Which way do the reversed eyes go on the front and rear of a 49 F1? And does the swinging hanger go on the front of the rear spring or the rear?
You will either need to grind off material at the rear spring front mount or grind out the rivots and rotate the bracket or the forward end of the rear spring reversed eye will bind in the bracket. I chose to rotate the bracket 90 degrees. Others rotate it 180 degrees. By rotating 90 degrees more material in the bracket is available to resist the upward load placed on the bracket which I prefer
Thanks Willard. I have already milled the material off the hanger. I just want to make sure I have the spring turned right because the bolt doesn't seem to be in the center. If i'm not terribly mistaken, it should be, right?
