Springs on false tank

wilcoy02 · Feb 24, 2013

ok got the faux tank all painted and all scratched up already.

Can anyone post a picture of how the springs are arranged on the underneath side of the false tank??

Someone told me to take pics but NOOO i could get it back together. Well I CAN'T

Thanks for any help.

Thank You very kindly.
Now I have pics so I can get mine back together.
Hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Bump for 85winger.
Knew someone else would need this.

hey thanx for the pics. the springs look a lil different than my set for the 85 but at least I can do some more experimenting. After that just have to figure out how to get a pic o my scooter on my profile.

There should be little rubber insulators on the straight ends of the springs, for smooth operation I suppose. I used small vacuum hose to make mine. For what it's worth...

Thanks Steve for that tip.

I am back as I have another set of springs to reattach.

Very grateful for these photos. Thank you! And I have (so far) been unsuccessful in installing the bolt-spring assembly. I have not found a way to hold the pieces in place and secure the bolts at the same time! It seems to be particularly difficult since the cover must be half-closed to be in positon. Do I need to drill out the riviets that hold both halves of the false tank? Any tips that you may have on how it is done would be gratefully appreciated.

To install the springs on my shelter, the lid had to be fully up in order to set the springs with no tension.

Thank you, kindly. I have now successfully re-assembled all.
