    Can't find replacement springs can i use shackles?

    Can't find springs that fit exactly. This is for an older calkins trailer, the springs are 26 and 3/4 eye to eye. The only ones i can find are 26 1/4. or is there a way to make them fit? Never used shackles before so I am not that familiar with them, good choice or bad?

    Is it possible? 650 to 850!

    I am wondering what the differences are between a thunderbolt 850 and a thunderbolt 650 and if a 65 can be switched to an 85 horse engine with carbs and reeds, etc? Any thoughts from the board?
