Wondering if anyone using a model A frame and running a flathead was able to make 35/36 front wishbones work unsplit?
The wishbone is alot longer than that of a Model A stock wishbone. You would have to make a special mount and it would be under the transmission. Also have to cut off the front spring perches. If using a model A axle, you would need 1/4" spacers.
I’ve cut the perches off, building a mount off the f1 crossmember isn’t an issue. Just curious if anyone has done it or if there is oil pan interference
Here's one way. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/tech-week-hot-rod-suspension-simplified.683868/
I'm about to try this. I'm pretty sure that the bone I have is a 35. At first glance and pulling a tape it looks like the ball will fall really close to an f1 crossmember. 29 roadster pick up, 8ba, 3 speed, radiator moved forward to clear truck fan/wide belt. Front double crank pulley 3/8" from front spring U bolts Who else has tried a 35 wishbone?
good point alchemy! I intend to try to move it back as far as I can without cutting the fire wall. After your comment it will have to be at least the width of the belt away. It's all in mock up at this point. I think that you just saved me a ton of headache. Thanks!
