drop Spindles

Ro
Hi All, I am Looking for drop spindles for my Series II Race car
Thanks
Rock
Rocco... do you have the later ball joint front end in it. Or the SI-3 kingpin?

The "comon" drop spindles were the later style when rootes switched the sedans from 15 to 13" wheels ...

But we did have a member who seemed to identify a drop spinfle off a hillman for the kingpin setup

The king pin style Minx,Rapier or Singer spindles will lower your car approx 3/4". There may be issues with brakes tho. If interested shoot me a DM.

BEWARE of drop spindles changing bumpsteer!

Here are some examples of the changes to

tie rod end heights, using a Tiger steering

arm and late spindle.
