Default Quarter inch / half inch.......

Hi Jacques

Some cab 13 have coil springs on the front cab mount others have large crude rubber washers......... whether for vibration or flex one has to remember that riveted CMP frames are very flexible and will twist wildly over rough terrain.

The difference between 1/4 and 1/2 does not matter much as you will be aligning the shifting mechanism of the T case to match the frame twist. when I was road testing my C15a with a transplanted 2 speed t case I had to do a lot of fiddling to get the shifting rods of the T case just right..... at first everytime I drove over a steep road bump the t case would pop in neutral leaving me stranded and the gears locked in neutral... eventually got it right.

No matter what they ride hard......
