Front Engine Dragsters / rim screw placement

« on: March 22, 2016, 09:11:04 PM »

Did a little research on rim screw placement.I have set of american racing rims.ive seen two different ways of placement is there a right or wrong way.One is on the bead face the other is on the rolled edge at 45 degree angle alternating with the bead face.

Is there a standard caster angle used on the axle of a front engine dragster? Does wheel base have any bearing on this

Bought this car as a roller.it did tag the wall and front section was replaced.Repair was done nice.looking at axle and noticed that the uprights the chrome has cracked/fractured.Im leaning on replacing the axle assembly.Is this the way to go or am I going overkill?
