Thanks for all the ideas. I went with my idea of drilling a hole, inserting a bolt, and double nut sandwiching the flat part of the frame. It turned out good and if it ever gets bashed off, a new bolt fixes it.
Wondering about the spring hook angle and if the angle changes with position of stand up and down swing....allowing spring to unhook.
It does look good.
I put a little grease on the bolt where the jiffy spring hook rotates on it. Took it for a putt yesterday with a few stops. Jiffy stand works great. Snaps up tight to the rubber bumper on the frame and snaps down with authority.
Much better than when I first got the bike and the jiffy spring was hooked in that hole in the frame. The jiffy stand wouldn't tuck up to the frame that way, hung down a bit. Very happy with this repair.
