Re: [OT] Welding, spring questions re trailer for my Jeep
Hi Lee,
Yes, replace the brass bushings:
http://www.apple.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Pho...earSprings.gif Although,
you'll probably have to have them made.
I would gas weld the fender, tapping it with a hammer and wet rag
to heat shrink it. I don't see a reason for a gusset, unless it's at a
major support.
