Hi Folks,
Hope someone can give me some advice on a dual axle horse float I am doing up (about 20years old).
When looking the leaf springs over, I noticed that the clips or bands on one of the leaf springs can both be moved up/down the leaf about 20mm or so. The U bolts are tight, and there doesnt look like the leafs are moving should I be worried??
I have another trailer , and it looks like the bands are riveted to the leafs. holding them nice and tight?
Looking at the other leaf springs on the trailer in question, none of them appear to be "riveted", but look like they have sort of been centre punched, where you would normally expect a rivet.
Should I be worried and have them repaired? Is it cheaper to get them resprung/fixed ? or I did notice supercheap was selling leafsprings for trailers for about $29.00 ? (Or would these be Super Crap?)
Thoughts. ideas and suggestions?
Cheers
Zane
