Put proper spacers onto center foot plate bolts, or look into a suspension system. #32

Current nuts do not hold steady and give too much play and work loose, especially on rough ground. Either make them more solid, or investigate a better option such as suspension.

Had to hack saw off the annoying bolt, nothing would move it. Ordered replacements and spacers.

Replacement bolts and spacers now here.

Removed all existing bolts, and replaced with 3 inch hex head ones, along with some aluminium spacers. The spacers had to be cut down, but seem to be working fine. All nice and tight. Center foot seems a lot more sturdy.
