Bolt on C-notch
 
I know its a stupid question but Can somebody post a picture of one, I cant figure out how it works. Do you just drill holes then bolt it on the cut the frame?

You have to make a template. Then cut the notch. Then clamp the notch in place and drill the holes. (It may take a few clamps) Locating the axle centerline is important also.

take the rear spring out, let the frame 'rest' on the axle, and mark the centerline of the axle on the frame, then match-up the CL of the notch with the CL on the frame (you just made), trace the notch (section to be cut) and cut it out.......basically you want the axle to fit in the center of the notch.....hope this helps
