The pin through the springs is just a locator for the spring to the acle perch and u bolt plate. You just add another hole to the perch and the plate and this offsets the spring relative to the axle. So if you drill a hole in each 1” toward the front of your 40, the pin will now be in this hole and the axle is 1” back from where it would be if the pin was lined up with the center hole. Wish I had a picture definitely worth 1000 words in this case.
