one of my front turnbuckles the spring has broke and or collapsed is there a way to replace the spring and if so where can I get one
At one point I had an old Ironhead Sportster that was on a rigid frame. Nothing stock worked on that bike. I ended up using a spring from an old bunk bed frame for a kickstand spring. After I disassembled the frame to use the angle iron on another project, I had a whole coffee can full of replacements.Confused about what turnbuckle, what rig maybe a pic would help?
I am lucky to have a couple of well stocked hardware stores near me. I took a return spring from my car dolly ratchet tie down to the store and matched one up.
A few months ago did the same thing with my dirt bike kick stand return spring.
If you have a matching spring on another side maybe that's the plan here as well.
but the back turnbuckles are not spring loaded so do you think chain would loosen up maybe using locknuts if so I will go ahead and buy all 4My observation when I had slide in campers. When I switched to the spring loaded style they did not loosen up like the a chain and turn buckle tend too. I think the camper does move around slightly and the spring style can compensate for this movement.
I think it is the side to side movement so I would get all four. Mine were from Happy Jack and come in a set of four.but the back turnbuckles are not spring loaded so do you think chain would loosen up maybe using locknuts if so I will go ahead and buy all 4
Why but all four when you only need one.Like I said in post #3, you can find them on Amazon and buy just one if that’s all you needbut the back turnbuckles are not spring loaded so do you think chain would loosen up maybe using locknuts if so I will go ahead and buy all 4
