Description: When rebuilding the original brake. The springs that keep the pads from braking when not in use. I had to stretch them a little. A problem that I noticed was when operating the brake. The springs would get caught under the brake pad backing plates, not allowing it to return. I placed washers that fit perfectly around the shaft that has the springs and this kept them from getting trapped. Works like a dream now.

Description: The arrow points to the added panel thats attached just under the engine / rear seat lid. I will be adding a smaller panel on each side of the white panel pictured. When the panel (3) pieces are assembled together. They will aid in blocking the openings where upper body half meets the bottom tub of the ATV. Eventually they will be bonded with a diamond plate textured rubber mat.
