Title: rear spring shackle
Post by: Phantom on January 22, 2006, 10:59:45 PM
          G'day all,
                         Can somebody tell me if this is the original way the rear spring shackle was set up, my mate seems to think it is upside down?
                                             Cheers Rusty

G'day Rusty. Just stuck me head under the EK and its set up the same way.Its an original old unmolested one so that would be the correct setup as shown in your pic.FE/FC would be the same as EK.

Terry.

Hey Rusty
As Terry said, that is the correct way for the shackle to be set up. It may just be the angle of the pic, but the spring eye looks to be a bit close to the body, possibly caused by the mount being bent. Check out both sides to be sure they are the same. As I said, it may be nothing more than the pic angle.
Regards
Alex
