Well, you have a command of expletives, so you should be just fine here I admire you guys in foreign lands, working on American cars---it's got to be a challenge. There's a guy down the street from me with a Trabant and he struggles with it regularly.
Who is interested look. My car two colors volga 21 http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/07/16/guest-blog-oleg-lozovoy-active-open-air-meet-russia.aspx
Rustem, the dropped upright looks like a "Fatman Fabrications" part. You should contact them, and ask them to Email a copy of their installation instructions.
On an original vehicle the pin / bolt with the taper on it shown in the link 53Sled posted would be in that position. That item may have been misplaced and the bolt in the photo subs***uted. Welcome to the HAMB Guys I have to agree 100% with 53Sled. This is not the time or thread to post information that is not correct. I did a bit of research and those are Fatman dropped spindles and are the same right down to the sharpie lettering as the ones in the Gambino Customs Add on Ebay. Ebay item number 260213179732
Welcome Rustem. This gives me hope that I may someday get my chevy up running. Nice cars by the way. Lippy
nice looking 54 you have what he is saying is he and some others of us would like to see pics of russia landscapes, buildings people whatever you could post just to see what its like over there welcome to the hamb
Getting back to his question.... This is what should be installed in your spindles. This article shows a photo, almost the same as your photo, with the correct part installed. http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/techarticles/0912rc_1949_chevy_suspension/index.html The bolt in yours is incorrect. The broken English is similar to Emails I have with Friends in Italy, so I have no problems understanding what you are saying
Привет! Ваша жена красива, и Ваши автомобили очень хороши. Программы перевода - дерьмо! В будущем я могу перевести, если нада помощь. Пошлите мне приватный сообщение, и я дам Вам свою э-майл. Вы можете написать мне на русском языке, не проблемаю Дэниел Guys, he's using a computer translation program to post here in English, and they don't always work real well. If you want to ask him a question, keep it simple and avoid slang, in***ials, etc. I speak fairly decent Russian, so I offered to help translate for him. Dan
People on H.A.M.B. Want to learn more about Russia and hot roding in Russia. How you think to me to open a separate theme? In what section it to make?
Those aftermarket suspension parts appear to be using a grubscrew and locknut to hold the kingpin. The originals use a cotter pin (tapered) to hold the kingpin. It's easier to drill and tap a hole for the grubscrew than the cotter pin. The drilling for the cotter pin has to be much more accurate. That's why aftermarket parts use that method. You need a short allen headed grub screw and a locknut instead of that bolt. The end of the bolt could be carefully filed and a locknut fitted to the bolt if that is all you have. But it must have a lock nut in place. Good luck with your projects. Mart.
Привет Дэн! Отлично что ты здесь! Да с Английским у меня туго, очень хочу начать изучать его. Спасибо за помощь!
Uh oh, now you are talking a different language my friend. We are going to need a translation for that. As a suggestion, you can just try taking it apart and see if anything bad happens. That is what I usually do. Usually nothing too bad happens, usually anyway. No need to read instructions. Regardless, cool car! I didn't see anything like that when I was in Russia back in 1998. Good luck with it.
