Anybody had this experience?
wensum... Sorry that I don't have any pictures that show the radius rod but I have a Clings V8 transmission adapter in my '29, it has a custom mount for the radius rod ball to set in which does mount the ball lower than original. Never have measured the difference. My '29 handles well with this set up.
