AM LINQ 32 GAL Trunk Helper Spring Spacer

This is a spacer for installing helper hinges on the CanAm LinQ 32gal trunk. With the helper hinges installed the lid stays up without the need of the flimsy kickstand. The spacers are needed because the holes in the helper springs are 8.5mm while the hinges use m6 hardware. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B51BVB6P?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

After printing use a m6 tap to clean up the threads. Depending on your printer it might be too big to fit in the hole of the helper hinge. If so it can be screwed onto a m6 screw. Then chucked into a drill and turned down with a file.

To install pull out the 2 screws that are in the hinge. Then install a 40mm long m6 screw. I used button heads so it would be easier to tighten. Put on a regular nut and tighten. Screw on the spacer. Install the helper hinge and put on a m6 flanged lock nut. Only snug it up to the helper hinge so it can still rotate. Finally adjust the helper spring so it's on the stiffest setting.
