RAT ROD TRANSVERSE LEAF SPRING - SHACKLE ANGLE

I install a new transverse leaf spring on the Rogue Rat Rod. The change requires new spring shackles and I have to consider the best shackle angle. I look at the effect of different shackle angles using a model and determine the best angle before making new shackles and installing the new transverse leaf spring.

Swearing at engineers and their lack of considering the technician who has to work on, and repair their designs happened just yesterday with me. I had to change the low beam headlight on my wife's Ford Fusion. What a nightmare because of poor engineering when it comes to accessing this part of the car. By the way, I am very impressed with how you worked out the problem with your springs.

Amazing gems 💎 of information. It makes sense that there be a mathematical equation to figure out the spring spread. I think i will use this gem fo figure out the perch on a trailer axle springs

You could use your original shackles if you preload or stretch your spring with a bar and clamps. Just a thought

Really appreciate you comment! One of my aims with the channel is to try and show that one can build cool stuff without spending megabucks. 😀

I learned a lot with this episode. I always wonder how a suicide front end worked. Your technical process of showing what is right and what would be wrong with different length shackles, was great. I've never seen as much detail in other videos. All of your videos have tidbits of information I can take away from each one. Bart

Thank you so much, that was the best description of spring and shackle travel. That explained why I had so much drift on my 1923 t-bucket. Thanks from U.S.A.
