Technical Ford axles dropped in Finland

Inspired by Gearhead79’s thread about axle dropping in SoCal, I thought tell about my axle dropping in Finland, in case some European guys would need dropped axle. (by the way, Gearhead79 seems to do excellent job).
I can drop 28-36 axles up to 4 inches and 37-41 axles up to 3 inches. Lately I modified the jig so that I’m also able to drop Lincoln Zephyr axles 3 inches and keeping 4.5 degree KPI. The tolerances I can promise is +/-0.5 degrees for KPI and +/-1degree for caster (or axle twist)

For other brands axles with parallel springs I can not drop. But I did once adjust a Nash axle KPI to 8 degrees to allow use of Ford spindles.

Right now I have a 4inch dropped 33-36 axle and 3 inch dropped 37-41 axle available. Also I can drop your axle if needed. The shipping from Finland to Sweden and Denmark is 33€, to Germany 50€. I believe on other way it is almost same.

Nice! I’ve really started noticing (and following) the great classic car culture in Europe.
