hello seagull.

cb sindl as brad sent to godzilla attached. these are the factory K&L pin lift spindles.

ps1. all cb front ends should be left on cbs as these are the real scarce deal neil.

ps2. if you are gunna make them, i'd like to know when & how much...

things are ball joint fronts that have the joints so arranged so that both jooints get bashed together by the suspension rather than having one bashed togather and one bashed apart.

seagull you will have seen all these surely.

blind chiken lift spindles for a std ball joint front. meebee ok in USA but dont crash in AU and expect to get away. pray you dont hurt anyone when they let go. a frend rekons he'd trust his welds. if it felt ok as he welded it he rekons he'd be happy with it (but he's build a few buggys all lic OK). rta would no doubt take a diff view if they noticed....

dunno. i wouldnt trust my soldering to it...

best buggy/baja setup????
for parts accessibility, put a balljoint front on a double jointed pan with 2/3 inch "chassis streagtherner" and 181 arms and spindles.

that is unless somethibng like a cb frontend cant be put togather out of bits????

what is the availability of 181 spindles in aus???? what does it cost to get your hands on a set????
