Thread: Perch Bolt Question.....

Tweet

I plan on running my spring attachment point off the split bones. On the clevis point of the bones that attach to the axle, the original spring perches have a conical end to fit into the bones then thru the axle...since I'm not going to use spring perches on the axke..what kind of bolt can I use to attach the bone to the axle??? Thanks!

Don't just use a similar sized bolt, you need that shaped one to fit perfectly and hold things tight. You can either chop off the top of the old perches so they are smooth, or places like Total Performance make smooth topped ones. You also need the little adapter that comes with them for the bottom so the nut will not hit the inside of the wishbone. It is tapered on the top and flat on the bottom for the nut to cinch up against.

Here is the one I used from Total Performance.

I lied, mine came from Speedway, but Total Performance has them too and I think Speedway buys them from TP.

Thank you.

You're welcome. BTW, grease it up with waterproof grease or use antisieze liberally on it. Makes it easier to get apart if the need arises.
