Spring perches

[Shiloh8548]

Can anyone tell me if the spring perches are the same as a regular A? I have some new spring perches for a regular A but don’t want to knock my old ones out only to find out that the ones I have won’t fit. Someone put new bushings in these before I got it but looks like the perches were either badly worn or the didn’t have the right tools to do the job….

Model A perches won't work on AA.

Anyone know of a way to maybe try and repair these? I was thinking if I could get a brass rod the same size as the INside diameter and then build the metal with a welder and afterwords file down. Anyone ever try something like this? Any ideas are welcome!

The only difference between the A and AA spring perches is the location of the ball for connecting the shock linkage (the AA ball is a little higher) – see the attached.

Your repair idea should work well.

I'd probably go with the repair but I'd use some copper tubing to back up the weld, way easier to remove than a solid rod, you'd no doubt need to ream or at least file out the hole afterwards.

Otherwise I've got a good set of used 30/31 perches if need be.

How much would you want for those perches? I’ve had success with building weld before but at the same time I’ve had some experiences where things don’t go as planned when adding heat to metal. It weakens the metal and with something that will have quite a bit of tension and weight on it, I’m a bit concerned about how well things will hold up.

How about $40. plus shipping for the pair?

The 28/29 perches are different than 30/31 and won't interchange

28/29 and 3031 perches are different

I’ll take them! How do I go about getting the funds to you?

I'll PM you, it could take me a few days to get to them.
