I've read several posts regarding the original 32 steering gear when used with 37-41 spindles & after market upper arms & the concerns it creates. The original 32 left side spindle was formed with the integral arm tweeked forward of the spindle centerline for the correct steering geometry with respect to the steering gear. Here in lies my question, I would like to for now to retain the 32 gear & the 37-41 spindles ---does anyone produce a steering arm with the correct tweek that would bolt to my spindles ? So-Cal, Speedway & others show arms that could be used with some heat/bend modification & perhaps this is the only solution, just curious. Incidently, I used the later spindles to mount wide 5 Frankland full float alum.hubs & drums to duplicate a vintage modified. I know Richard (Early Ford Garage) speaks strongly regarding retaining 32 spindle/ steer gear, however trying to stay close to the original build as possible with minimum frame rail modification.
