Title: 6 Inch Steering Arm--help
Post by: dusterdave173 on June 25, 2014, 05:44:33 AM
I bought my new spindles at a swap meet--new in a Strange box. ( may not be Strange) Came with three 5 inch arms--I am told I need a 6 in arm for the top arm--it is .890 bolt pattern with the notches to help locate it. I can't seem to find the right one--Strange says all they have is 5 inch--Good Vibrations says his are for Boultons--any ideas other than making one--?? Do I need a 6 inch? 200 in FED
Can I just alter the one I have--I mean I have pals that can weld I trust but..???
Thanks

Neil and Parks. 785-654-3440. Rooman might also have them maybe I should list him first. If don't find let me know Im right up the road and can make one if you have one with bolt pattern.I think I have a piece of 1/4 molly and positive I have piece of 3/16 I can get one out of.

All the Strange stuff is based on rear engine/rack & pinion cars where spindle arm lenght does not matter and you have to ask for the third arm because the set only comes with 2.

  Good news is that I have the program to make a 6" Strange arm
