Downside; When you really slam on the brakes you end up with 3 balls...
"Maybe consider '32-'34 spindles & brakes. Better bigger brakes and you can use regular tie rod ends instead of dealing with oblong worn balls on...
Sometimes I think I think faster than I think. Hmmm... Maybe I just discovered the issue. robj
I'll have to try that. I have a big TV up on the wall of my shop and usually have Maine or IronTrap on the entire night to keep me company. Kinda...
Ahhh... Maybe that's what the poster was referring to when they said "made it lower". Thanks for clearing that up. I am using '32 spindles. I...
Thanks for the tip. Makes sense. I'll try that from now on. robj
Lot's of ingenuity here. Love to see more! robj
Yes it is. Thanks! robj
All great shots. Zax, That's more what I was thinking. Lower than stock, but not too low. And I can't help but think the crossbar doesn't add some...
Yes, it does! What springs do you have? Any mods to them?
So the Posies '28 >'31, Super Slide 48.5 > 49.5 , reverse eye rear spring came in. It's "supposed" to be 2" lower. Now I'm guessing that's under...
I did a search but used the wrong terms. Garbage in, garbage out I guess... Thanks for the link. robj
Lots of ideas here. I think I'm mostly looking for something with the original brackets cut, bent and welded. For a fenderless two door I "think"...
Love to see some Model A headlight brackets for a fenderless car made from the original brackets.
So after considerable discussion here; https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/dumb-model-a-question.1344467/#post-15758005 regarding the set...
Link to side discussion of rake and setting up front crossmember....
I guess what I will be doing is set the frame up with my anticipated rake then tack the top of the crossmember at the desired 7 degrees. Then if...
I understand what caster is, ie. the relationship [tilt?] of the axle to the ground plane and I understand the axle moves in an arc pivoting at...
Or maybe a dumb builder... Reworking my front crossmember [there were cracks and a nasty plate added] I'm able to raise the center about 1/2"....
I had someone mention that '32>34 spindles give an additional 3/4" drop. Then someone on your build said they didn't. Any idea, [for sure] if this...
Ron, Thanks so much for the heads up to your journey. I'm reading with great interest. And to be honest I'll be reading it more than once I'm...
I'm back at my original thread;...
So, I got completely sidetracked in a discussion of the Posies reverse eye front spring. Link to that here;...
Hi Grumpy, I'm still figuring out my front end height math. I hate to ask but are you pretty positive about this? "also gives you an additional...
I guess it can go either way. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/a-big-shout-out-and-thank-you-to-okie-joe.1260216/
Well that's not too encouraging. Seems he's been doing this quite a long time. You would think if this is a common problem there would be more...
Well isn't that interesting. Thanks! I'm wondering why the guy I spoke with didn't offer to send me that. Or better yet, why there isn't a link to...
Two short top leaves gone, replaced by a short one. [ATTACH] and the second leaf removed. I'm thinking it looks 400 lbs better. And the leaves...
Thanks for that! So Posies is saying 3.25" Free Arch. And when I called they "sort of" said the spring would settle 2". But in their notes for...
