Young Chang Growing Action Brackets Pictures (Modified by Kent Swafford)

[Terry]

Seems there are a number of folks on this list that have not run across  
the Young Chang Growing Action Bracket phenomena. I am in the midst of  
replacing the brackets on a 1991 Young Chang with this problem (or is  
it an opportunity?!). Below are several pictures showing how they can  
grow/expand.
 
The picture below shows a new inner bracket standing in front of the  
old expanded inner bracket - you can easily see how much taller the old  
bracket is where the two main action rails sit on the brackets.

Below is a similar picture as above, but with a new and old outer  
bracket.

Below is a picture looking straight down at a new and old bracket - the  
new bracket is the lower one. You can easily see how the expanding  
brackets not only raise both action rails, but also increase the action  
spread.

Below is a picture showing the general condition of some of these  
brackets - how the metal not only expands, but also deteriorates until  
it crumbles apart. The hammer flange rail mounts on the flat surface at  
the left side of the bracket. This puppy is toast!
