Just seeing what every one is using for there drop axle's. Is there any one better company than another to go with? I am looking to possibly buy the entire kit with springs, shackles and arms and maybe even one loaded with spindles and brakes ( just to keep it easyer ) Cheers Chris
I just started rebuilding the same front end on a 30-31 Tudor (w/Fenders) and bought brakes/rotors (yes, using discs - the kids will be riding in this one)... then found it was too wide for fenders. So i had to buy new 46" wide I-beam axle (vs. 48") and a new narrow spring. Now have to by a new shorter drag link, etc. After this experience, be sure to think through Fenders (46" axle) vs. Fenderless (48" axle), etc. I think i could've replaced the whole front end as a kit much cheaper than buy individual pieces that made up less than the whole kit. Sometimes, trying to save $ by being cheap doesn't pay in the long run!
Search for VAPHEAD here on the hamb, Eric is a great guy and will help you make a choice based on your car. He is a HAMB Alliance Vender and offers great discounts to Alliance members. His complete front end kits are the only actually totally compltete. You cant beat the HAMB Alliance bennies, info at the top of the page
