Have a 1930 VC that has some mismatched parts. Im starting to deal with the springer front end that was disassembled when I got the project many years ago.
According to Steve's book and the parts I've identified, the front end is an early 1930 model. Just drove the spring rods out tonight and sure enough, they are straight and stepped.
I also the screw in bushings, which are extremely worn.
My questions are:
Can I replace the spring rods with the tapered version that are currently reproduced?
Can I used the later bushings which are not the screw in type?
Does anyone have straight spring rods and bushings that they would be willing to sell?
Does anyone reproduce the 30 springer stuff? Bushings (Rod and rocker), straight rods & angled grease fittings?
I appreciate your advice and help!
