Default Re: Lowering 1955 Ford CV

The Granada spindles need the lower spindle hole reamed with a tapered reamer to fit the 55 ball joint. When installed, the turn stops no longer line up. I used 3/8 round rod about eight inches long welded inside the A arm turn stop . They have not bent in ten years use. I also robbed the dead Granada of the differential valve, located on the inner fender on the left side. There are several master cylinders you can choose from. I used a 69 Torino M/C adapter to raise the M/C so I can get the rocker covers off the Y block for annual rocker adjustment. The adaptor is now available from Speedway for 50 bucks.
