I have a feeling I'll be able to show it to you, sad to say. I have this need to inflict a little more pain on myself, just not today. There's something unsettling about taking a spring pack apart, you are 'a bizarre accident' away from a coma. Know what I mean?
Since "too low" was due to oil pan to ground clearance; was "too high" based on relationship to rear end height? Your front end is kind of an unusual combination of parts; will be interesting on how you work this out.
You could solve all this mess by sitting on your chair watching TV like 80% of the rest of America. Or you step up to the problem and try something different. I'm pretty impressed by how many people can solve some of these problems in three tries! Three or 4 tries are usually my first design. Some stuff on my truck project are on the 4th or 5th design. Some times you just have to walk away and try something different the next time. Success is when you whip the problem and can move on to the next thing on the list. Like said earlier, if it was easy, everyone would have a cool ride. If everything was easy, there wouldn't be as much satisfaction in the completed project. Gene
Well, here it is, 9 leaves, the bottom two look fatter because that how much vynl left over from doing the rear elipticals.
Model 'A' front axle done by Okie Joe, square back spindle, '56 Buick backing plate, '37 Ford wide5 hub, Finned Buick drums not yet joined to the hub - I had lots of help from **** Spadaro (we miss ya ****!), lower steering arms flipped and swapped to get tie rod above the frame, cowl steering. Normal HotRod stuff.
Well, here it is back together. I unreversed the main leaf, here's my spreader bar ( I felt like Wile E. Coyote jumping up and down on the failed trip wire after the RoadRunner p***ed by as I tightened the nuts). About 4" under the oil pan, tight on the tie rod clearance but I can deal with that.
