    I would have thought you would have had to shorten the original drag link, to keep the steering box centered, since the stock '34 steering arm ball was forward of the spindle centerline and your hairpin steering arm ball is on the spindle centerline.

    Wow sun glasses need for that bling. With more pics, here is an easier solution , just use a set of stock 32-4 spindles, flip the drag link 180* and use the backing plate/spindle spacers for the brake index. Everything will work correctly and the box is centered and the brake hose doesnt have to have mickey moused adapters. . Plus you will find that it steers easier.
