My jp has enlarged spring pivot points. What should I do?
ANSWER 1: My experience is as a machinist, not a welder. With that in mind, two ways. One, get the centerline measurements off of a good bracket, and lay out and center-punch your pilot for the re-drill. Or two, I’m sure a welder has a trick or two up his sleeve, like using a rod of non-ferrous material to clamp in place and weld around. The location is not critical: if you get it within an eighth of an inch, I would think it would be fine. More important would be that it is square to the frame. (If you have a drill press, drill yourself a drill jig – a block drilled through straight,so you can clamp it to the bracket and drill straight.) ANSWER 2: Get out your oxy. Cut off the shackle brackets. Finish the job with a good grinder. Buy new shackle brackets. Re-weld them back on. Do it with an arc welder. ——————- SUSPENSION – WRANGLER SPRINGS ON A 2A QUESTION: Can anybody tell me of any place I can get cheap but good stock wrangler springs. I want to put them on my 47 CJ 2A?
