Thanks......Not sure I would consider something done with a cordless drill and a 5/8" bit "machine" work, but I'll take it

Moving the LCA forward causes the top of the spindle to tilt backwards so when you turn the wheels the tire will tilt. This tilt when in a turn forces the outside edge of the inside tire and the inside edge of the outside tire into the ground for better traction and also compensates for body roll. Thats my understanding at least.

Tires are here, props to Tirebuyer.com cheaper than any local place by over $50 a tire and fast free shipping. Now to get them on.
