Will Thompson, a.k.a Lee's Trailers, a.k.a. Capital City Trailers has it, and is rebuilding it into a trailer with springs, amd conventional parts. Seems I had a torsion axle, and sealed bearings (not your normal ones). Even with all the help, I would have been stuck right from the giddyup, even if i figured out how to get the cap off.
So glad I decided to value my own time more than the $$. Hope to be back at it soon. In the meantime, Luc has some much needed time off, and I'll be riding with him for a while. Slightly better ride anyway, and not bad company!
Why would you change from a torsion bar to springs? Aren't torsion much better than springs? I may be misunderstanding, but I thought torsion bars were a big upgrade from leaf springs
