[Spridgets] Question for racers "rear axle"

[Weslake1330]

I am currently making a new set of anti-tramp bars.  I'm replacing the
stock front spring mount with a modified one that both raises the spring
eye point (and lowers the ride height but also extends directly downwards
to become the mounting point for the anti-tramp bar.  This removes the
bracket on a bracket approach of the existing anti-tramp bar while also
allowing me to create a bar(s) which has a larger bush than the regular kit
has.  The bar will also end up being a bit longer than the original but
that's also a better thing.  I'm hoping the new bar and bracket integral to
the spring hanger will weigh less than the old design.

Regards


Daniel
