M101CDN resto - good vendors?

[82cruiser]

Hi all,

I just picked up a M101cdn and am about to start restoring it. The springs are shot and I need to find some other parts as well. Can anyone recommend some good sources for replacement springs, shackles, and other related parts?

Thanks and

Randy Elkin

Most spring places can measure the old ones and fab up new ones the same. The rest of the bits can either be made or bought.

Like shackles can be made up. Bushings sourced at spring shops. Also shocks can be bought at NAPA, just have to go down to them with one. The charts they have should be able to do that.

Any hub issues, might be the chance to change over to cruiser size hubs.

Lights can be replaced......

Pretty simple trailers with lots of strong metal to work on. Please post up your progress with the trailers.

this is a good resource..I bought my hubs here to convert to a Cruiser bolt pattern...way cheaper than any other place I could find....
