Re: 29 rear spring mount
I hope not but I am no expert - I did wrap the perch with a weld cool wrap and it should have kept it at less than 200 degrees. Not sure if anealing the mount and rivets will affect anything.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
Came out Good!!!!! that looks perfect!!! Now think about just how much rotation actually happens on that shaft. Maybe 2 deg. ? Just wiggles back and forth.. Again, Looks Great!!

Re: 29 rear spring mount
he means the spring pack just barely pivots - amazing how much that small pivoting can wear that shaft out.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
Ok - I ca feel a small amount of wear on the bottom of pivot on the inner 1/3 but not to bad. I ordered new bushings and hope that they will be big enough to tighten them up. With good roads and only 2000 miles a year unloaded should last my lifetime.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
You will be fine. Put it together and don't worry about it. When it wares out, ( 75 yrs. from now), then you can weld it up like I did with mine. The shaft was half gone!!

Re: 29 rear spring mount
keep it greased and it may never wear anymore.
Re: 29 rear spring mount
Cleaning up the drivers side spring and I found an issue - the brass bushing was worn all the way through and wore on one side of the top spring holders. Hopefully not a hard part to find?Stakebed wrote:keep it greased and it may never wear anymore.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
I'd clean it up get a new bushing and see how big the gap is. Loctite 660 will fill up to .020 gap
or maybe some JB weld.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
Or, bore it oversize and have a bushing made to fit. All will be better than new.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
yea id clean it up and see how much gap there is. The parts shouldnt be hard to find. Ill look when i get a chance - i have 2 of those parts i wont use but unsure how worn they are. Thats about the only way those parts wear out.

Re: 29 rear spring mount
My friend had an old AA truck yard as yard art and it had same piece I needed. We swapped it out last night and I have one that is perfect. Thanks

Re: 29 rear spring mount
Here's a link to 2 videos showing some assembly. The second video shows riveting rear spring perches and frames about 3 minutes into it.
