    I have a bare brookville boxed model A ch***is and I just received a speedway 4 inch dropped axle kit with wishbones. Any one out there have a speedway ch***is they could get measurement to the wishbone mount?

    ***emble the front end, Axle with spring and wishbones. put it it under the front cross member and square the axle to the frame and that is where the rear mounts will go. Leave about 5 threads past the jam nut for fine tuning the front.

    Same as above; but I usually take the spring apart and use just the main leaf to better approximate ride height.

    Rich: I forgot the spring. I had the same front axle, special spring to simulate ride height. Used that setup under 90% of the straight axle customer ch***is I built. Just changed the radius rods to what the customer wanted most of which were my custom built hairpins.
