    Jaeger Voltmeters

    Been a while since I've updated this thread... the Covid 'lost years' I guess :eek: I've had an upgrade done to the voltmeters to have a 'stepper motor' drive but the rest of the gauges remain the same. The factory pricing has gone up considerably so doubt that I will be getting any more when...

    Drop spindles

    Mark I came across some old notes and apparently I took down the numbers off a set a few years ago... "...17230B 1990442 on one of them and 17231B and 1990443 on the other..." Hope that helps!! I think the visual of the 2 types is hard to mix them up though

    Drop spindles

    I've personally parted out several Series V and VI Canadian Minxes and they all had the 'dropped' spindles and 13" wheels BTW, the later Super Minxes have Alpine/Tiger spindles with no 'drop' ! Interesting note on the cross members... the Alpine Tiger ones have an aluminum wedge riveted to them...

    Front Shocks

    BTW, I think the factory used studs for the shock mount so they wouldn't turn when removing the bracket as in the stock setup it's pretty much impossible to get at the top with the spring there!! I didn't know how strong those stock studs would be ( grade 5 ?? ) and changing them out gave me a...

    Front Shocks

    I think mounting it on top would greatly limit the length of spring that you could use on a coil over setup. I believe the a arm itself is VERY strong if you look closely at the way it's stamped. I used grade 8 3/8" bolts as in the pics and I can't believe they could ever pull through... a...
