Is there any reason for all those washers?
Or some longitudinal flex in the chassis.
Out of interest, why all those washers on the bolt through the chassis mount on nearside?
Looks to me like the stack of washers is a quicker 'dry build' fix than cutting a temp bolt to length - seems like it'd foul if put through sans washers.
Edit: also seems like Jim beat me to it...
This chassis won't flex, it's strong
I'm sure it is, I was just giving another reason for why someone might want a bit of lengthways sliding tolerance on a propshaft.
I'm not sure I understand how flex in a frame is going to help, the whole idea of having a stiffer frame is so the suspension works rather than the frame flexing or I maybe have missed your point ?

How does the transverse spring mechanism cope with the arc that the axle moves through caused by the ladder bars?
