I'm putting new leaf packs (McVeighs) on my 51. I didn't know that the front leaf spring hanger bolt is a forged rivet that needs to be wrecked and replaced. A replacement bolt is not easy to find on the internet. In fact info on this is pretty light in my research. Anyone here ever weld the original on back into the hanger bracket?
