It seems dickyho Paris mounts will fit on the round axles.
My question is, when mounting these to the deck, it seems one set of bolts, the outer bolt, needs a nut, the other hole goes into the spring hat, is this for tensioning adjustment only like newer trucks or is this to also secure it to the deck? If the former, is it safe to run these with only one set of mounting bolts? Seems like it wouldn’t be too hard to break them free from the deck with only one set of bolts.
Also these mounting holes don’t line up with any of the holes existing on the deck so I’d have to drill new holes, I’m a bit worried about the integrity of the deck with more holes in the end.
There’s just the four holes just like what’s on the top of that base plate, with the 2 narrow holes facing out. I made an angled riser for mine so the holes are completely different. So a picture of that would do no good.
Glyphiks got it right. The spring retainers also served to secure the truck to the deck. There was no adjustability then. Structurally no problem to drill more holes. The biggest challenge is getting them perfectly aligned on the centerline of deck. Not sure about using the old Matrix I top truck. My guess is there would be some issues. If you’re keen to experiment just buy a single to experiment.
Here’s the measurements of the old school top, can anyone post the measurements of the matrix 1 top, I suppose the most important measurements could be the spring hat bolts as the bottom has a notch for the springs to sit with the axle they can not be moved.
