Shocks

[EDHupp]

Any advice on removing the cotton straps that attach the rear lever arm shocks to the axle assembly on the ‘30 model S?

I  will be  back  up  North in  May, If  nobody helps  you  before then,  I will  look at  my 30 and  31 to  see how  they  are  attached.

Thanks Hupp36, but I messed around with it enough and figured it out (broke one of them in the process though).  I'm going to try to reproduce one.

 

For anyone else that may stumble upon this looking for how to do this, the straps are held in by metal wedges from the bottom of the casting on the axle assembly.  If you rap on the bottom side of it (where the green arrow is pointing in the pic below) several times alternating on both sides of the wedge, it will fall right out.  Don't hit it where the red arrow is, thats where I broke the piece.

Thanks for the response, i’ve got someone working on reproducing the wedges right now, if that doesn’t work out, I’ll be sure to get ahold of you.
