Trailer wear solutions
Thx guys for your comments & suggestions about the leaf spring wearing my aluminum Hitchiker. Will take a closer look this winter with the boat off the trailer.
1- DonV mentioned worn, oversized bolt holes. Based on msmts the original hole .060” diametral clearance is only about .100” now; so not a lot of wear there.
2- Bumpdraft’s idea of switching parts from side-to-side might work if need be.
3- For starters will try .25” thick aluminum or HDPE spacer plates to compensate for the wear.
Thx again for all comments
