    Hi All,

    Quick question.... Does anyone recognize these spindles? I am restoring an old Altered drag car and they are almost the exact style that was on the car originally but I need the two tabs to be on the opposite spindle. I saw them for sale locally but haven't been able to find any info on them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I think they are 42-48 Ford with a lot of the edges whittled away.

    I thought they were cut down originals as well, but the holes in the ears seemed to be higher than a factory spindle. One of the reasons this question is driving me a bit crazy. :)

    ^^^^ what he said. Lots of surgery and a bit of welding and grinding to smooth.
