Here is a piece of ¾” thick plate cut and marked to form
the bottom of the spring assembly. This forms the base where the spring rods
connect and the top where the spring fork tubes mate.

And, below, is this same piece with holes drilled for the fork tubes and for the
spring rods.

Below, is the lower tree that attaches the rigid forks to the steering stem
(available on the site) before the center hole has been tapped to 1”-24 to
accept the stem.

Now, put all the pieces we just made together with the parts kit that we
introduced last chapter and we have something that is actually starting to look
like part of a set of springer forks.
