Thanks guys
In my mind, I’m thinking 32 spring perches with an extension bolted and welded. We’ll see once I get all the parts.
Got it….And hopefully last question I assume the fork should be contacting hub on the flat area and I either have mix matched parts or I’ll need...
I feel stupid that it was on backwards. I really need to get some manuals. Thanks for the help.
Little late, but checkin in. Started throwing a car together after too much other stuff has gotten in the way. A frame stepped in the rear, T...

Thanks for the help [ATTACH]

Checking in Slowly working on things. Off to the machine shop for some new bearings, being told it’s a couple months wait. Oh well. Anyone know if...
At first glance, yes.
