SSQA issues

[Gordon Gould]

I purchased a set of SSQA adapters online that are the size pictured. I also purchased the SSQA plates for 3 different attachments. Everything fits as it should, there is about a 3/8" gap at the bottom as it should. The only issue I had was the springs that put pressure against the pins to hold the bucket in place were weak and I replaced them with OEM Bobcat springs and everything's works as it should.

I am curious as to why you think there should be a 3/8" gap. That would bother me and I would shim it. In my mind there should be no gap in any of 3 places (see arrows); between face of SSQA adapter and SSQA plate, between face of pin and SSQA plate slot, and between angled surface of SSQA plate and adapter for a proper fit.

I bought my conversion stuff from Vevor, on sale.
I had to covert my loader for DuAl quick attach to SSQA, (quite a bit of thinking) and someone gave me a 30 yer old kubota bucket that I had to cut the pin-on brackets and stiffener off to add the QA plate.
Having everything fit tight/perfect is not as critical as having the attachment LOCK ON tight to the loader.
Every attachment I have has a slight different width, AND is 'slightly' different where the locking pins go into.
