Re: 77 K10 - rear leaf spring shackle

Could be a design feature to allow the springs to not bind when the frame flexes.

I will try to post up a pic later. It is raining here now.
Would you suggest leaving the gap then? I'm afraid it'll allow too much side to side movement of the spring, if that's even a thing
