In my rebuild, I removed the mid longerons (F-888 R&L). They have a curve in them. They appear straight in the drawings and in the stock photo from Vans.
Last post I can find about this was from 2007 where the posters spoke about straightening the curve and taking a preload off by removing the slight curve.
No mention in the instructions about bending or straightening. I’m assuming that Vans has improved their manufacturing process and what you get is what you install since no mention of modification.
Would someone who is building look at theirs and tell me if the uninstalled piece is straight. Or if you remember installing, what yours was like.
