Yes I have a packing list which says 2 1949-1951 mercury lower spindle kit-outer and 2 1949-1951 mercury upper spindle kit-outer.
I am trying, but they don't like to answer their phone. I even left a message. Its for my 49 Merc by the way. I said 49, but forgot to say Merc.
I recently purchased some suspension parts from Jamco for the 49. Some of the parts look okay, but they sent me the wrong lower spindle kit....

Did you build the two link yourself? If not, where can I purchase one? I'm building a 49 merc.
No thats not too far. Thanks man. I just sent them an e-mail for a quote.
Does anyone know a good shop in the Santa Maria area that rebuilds flat heads?
