Peter,
From memory all 4 trunnion springs were the same size when I assembled that area on my 740, however I suspect that the previous owner (Don) had them made and was probably not aware of any differences. Sorry, not much help.

Hello all, Thank you David M, I was hoping that one of the Sages on info,com would chime in on their experiences and recommendations with this.... Never Mind.... My "considered" opinion is that the condition of the roads and the availability of reasonably accurate wheel balancing has improved so much that the trunnion Block "anti shimmy device" is effectively rendered obsolete and that the device could be assembled in pretty well any order. I would assemble this trunnion with two short springs on the inner and two long springs on the outer. You are of course able to alter this at any time. Best Regards , Peter Toet.

So what was the purpose of these "trunnions"?? Never seen anything like that before.
