Default Re: BEST Ford Beam Axle Spindles

Just get a Model "A" axle, drill it full of holes, add some pruned '32-'34 spindles (because of the integral steering arm as previously mentioned), use a pair of '40-'48 hubs (drums removed of course)*, make up some "batwings" using the yokes from an "A" wishbone, fab up a couple hairpin radius rods, remove about half the leaves from the "A" spring, and hang it all on a tube front crossmember with a suicide perch; don't forget to get some friction shocks.

* You will need the bearing spacer from a juice brake kit to run the later hubs on the early spindles, no big deal.

Set up would pretty much be period perfect, using real parts and avoiding 1-800 parts
