Can anyone tell me what is above the rear spring mounts? The sheetmetal has some large dimples to center the spring but on the inside, there seems to be straight sheetmetal (the area right behind the shocks). Is there a double layer of sheetmetal here? I want to bolt something to the dimple in the center of the spring mount to act as a suspension limiter, but I can't figure out the design.
I know the gas tank is inboard of the springs and is out of the way. Maybe I could cut some access panels into the upper panel of sheetmetal (if indeed it uses 2 layers) then screw a cover panel back over it? Any info or help would be appreciated. Jason |

Just saw your question. No pictures, but very basic. Two lengths of steel hinged together at one end (bolt should work). The remaining ends are hinged to the axle and frame. Each bar is 1/2 the length of how far you want to allow the axle to drop. So as the axle and frame move apart, the angle between each bar increases to 180 then stops. No more travel.
