Hey all.

I posted something similar a while back.

But I was wondering if anyone has an exploded view of a Country Buggy Spindle? I'm about to start rebuilding my set and want to make sure I have all the bits.

Thanks

Try a PM to bevoracing ( Tony Bevan) here on AVD. He rebuilds Country Buggy front ends and may be able to assist.

Thanks Bill. This is a good one for everyone. I certainly don’t do this for the money, or it would be a lot more expensive. There are several factory faults with the CB stub assemblies that have to be corrected or worked around, which makes the job quite tricky. If you want to have a go yourself contact me and I’ll give you all the info I have and help as much as I can, and of course take over if it gets too much for you. All I ask up front is you DON’T TRY TO TAKE THEM APPART WITH A HAMMER. This will only do damage and have us all in tears. I can show you how to do it.
Cheers Tony.

I’ve sent you an email Smiley.

I received your email and have sent you a reply.

Fortunately my spindles were already disassembled when I got them. Just a box full of bits.

Thank you for your interest in my project.
