Forged dropped steering arms for Chevy spindles

Reading through Jon Dioli's issues with his caliper brackets made me think of sharing this.

I'm running a Vega box cross steering setup, and wanted some forged steering arms for my Speedway Chevy spindles. Couldn't find a thing like what's available for Ford spindles. All that's out there as far as I know are the ones made from flat steel plate.

Don (donsrods) steered me to these Chassis Engineering arms for 1935-1948 Fords with drum brakes.



All I had to do was heat up and pinch the mounting holes a bit to 3 1/8".

I tack welded some jigs in my vise to keep the holes parallel . . .




heated and squeezed until the 'stop' put'em at the right distance.



Worked out perfect. I would have never known about these.

Slick! Much easier than cutting and welding the Fort pieces like I was considering.

I would have them magnufluxed with that much of an area bring heated.

Already done.
