Re: drop spindel

I would just take it down to the parts store for trial and error of the possible years. I believe the common years are pre-70, 71/72, and 73+.

don't forget c20 are different as well.
the only issue is most parts stores dont have the parts i have to order them. all i need is the dimension of the lower spindel hole. of each 62-70 71-87
also the c20 version. That will actually help.

62-70______
71-87____
c20____
