    Looking for some info on how much a spindle arm, needs to be adjusted (lowered) in order to fit under a stock "A" wishbone. Setting up a stock A (banger) with 40' ford backing plates and spindles, and a 4" inch drop axle. I know that the spindles need to be heated and bent down in order to clear the wishbone. My problem is I don't have a torch that'll get them hot enough and I would like my father to be able to bend them down for me before he sends them out. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the time.
