just extra options Brute...just extra options....gotta remember, not everyone's as mechanically inclined as some of us.
If it were me, or some of the others on here, it would be done whilst right in the cradle.

I then drilled the holes just a little larger and inserted a roll pin in each hole, and cut them to size. Mine now effectively has a steel liner in each hole where the spring goes. It will never wear out.

Sounds like a good idea but it is going to wear someplace. 'Course it would be easier to change springs than weld the cyl. Interesting idea.
That is true Fox. There has to be a shop with a hoist or a way to lift it into position to weld it without all the drama. Then again, good time to check everything else out.
