Wishbone help.

I've got a dropped '36 axle with a 2" perch boss. Has anyone ever used the later wishbone with a 2 1/4" spread? I ***ume this could be done by heating the end and squeezing it to 2". Would it throw off the original angle? Would heating the wishbones weaken them. What about a spacer?

I have a good set of early 40's bones I would like to use (would cut off spring hangers).

Thanks for the help!

 

Use a spacer, no heat. Bet VAPHEAD can supply them.

 

yes, a spacer is the answer. if no one can supply them they are not hard to make

 

1-1/2" holesaw through 1/4" plate. drill an 11/16" hole in the center, done.....

 

Thanks for the help. Would you mount the spacer on top or bottom?

 

heavy duty 1/8 inch thick washer top and bottom ?

 

Mine are mounted on top but they could be in either location.

 

put them so they give the most tierod room

 

Very good point.

 

Pete & Jake's/Super Bell has them.
