I had a 32 3 window with a 41 rear and 32 spring. I had no problems with it. I used the original shackles. Sent from my iPhone using The...

Yo don't know if it's 7.9 without knowing whether or not the floor is level (zero degrees). If garage floor slopes, then the amount of slope must...

Did you ever show a picture of your press brake? Like to see also. Thanks
Toe is set by tie rod adjustment. The problem the OP has is caster and only caster. The B/L tire change raised the rear and lowered the front...
Bending the spring binds the shackles and that creates problems. Alchemy, your engineering prowess is phenomenal. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.

Wyatt, Chin up. The 32 3 window of John Foxley is in fact a 32. The front roof section is from a 34 5 window, the rear roof is from a 33 sedan,...

Wyatt, I can give you the measurements you need. I will shoot some pictures of the areas in question and send them to you for markup. Also be...

I only see post 11 mentioning mono leaf when you said it was on its' way. Previously you said you had a stock and a Posie. How many springs do you...
Mono leaf on the way? Some people don't listen. Good luck.
