"The Bat" out of hell said:If your dealing with one that has been done wrong angle,but don't wish to redo it [paint /frame design/what ever],you can make some wedges to put between spring and perch to fix the angle/// it is also needed to move axle so it is lined up for free shackel movement.![]()
I believe that this is what The Bat out of hell is referring to. When I originally got my bucket (already built, but nothing right), the car drove like a granny in a parking lot :hiding:. I couldnt keep it in a straight line and these great guys of the forum diagnosed my photos and agreed that the car had no caster at all. Since everything was already welded, painted, etc, and since I couldn't get the angle needed without twisting everything, here was my soultion. I machined two simple wedges (top & bottom of spring) to obtain the required degree of angle and Viola, this fixed everything related to the front end and handling.
