silverfish. someone was righting a review on the new CNC'd indy DH plates. they said it was a bit slopply, so they were going to add a spherical to stiffen it up, so i figured this was true in all trucks? correct me if im wrong

alright, i finished the mod, and it turned out great. i did a bit more research on sphericals and decided it wasnt for me, im only 13 so my ankles arent as strong as some of yours, so the loss of manuverability would effect me more than most. me being a mad scientist, i tried something ive never see...

thanks, so how do i do it? and how do i invert the kingpin?
