Where the front axle has been dropped and narrowed by perhaps 1/2", are there any points to notice over radius arms which are being fitted with the 4 "drop" brackets rather than original-style castings?
I'm using some later radius arms with the second link removed, but noticed that when they are attached at the ball, one of them seems to want to kick out toward the inner wheel. I haven't tightened anything so may be worrying unduly.
Also, what bolts do people use for the dropping brackets from the original axle position? i.e. do the bolts need to fit firmly in the 1/2" hole in the body of the axle, or just ensure they are clamping well on the front and back faces? I've presenty got some huge metric ones which I can shim with a bit of brass... or I have some alloy spacers which fit really well and I can drill for a smaller cross-section bolt.
