[JDBen]

hi guys

sorry if this isn't thread worthy but i was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of deck reinforcements on the original old A model, inside or outisde it doesn't matter, just the length of the deck i know there isn't really a way to reinforce the dropouts.

much appriciated

L Shaped, find one that fits at a metal shop.

hammer it in.
cut the excess off (or cut it off before you put it in.

how do you keep the metal to stay put?

If you need to hammer it in it wont go out,

put tape on the outside of the Ls.

tape here:L and it won't budge

or make it extra long on one side, bend it up and turn it into a dropout and bolt it into place with your axle for your back wheel.
