Drop spindle Question?????
I have a 72 short frame. What I would like to find out is. How can I tell if they used dropped spindles or if they cut the springs. or both. is there a way I can measure from point A to point B to determine if they are stock or dropped????

Re: Drop spindle Question?????
Stock spindle has the rotor spindle somewhat in the middle of the spindle, and a dropped spindle will have the rotor spindle somewhat near the top of the spindle assembly... hmmm, that sounds confusing

Re: Drop spindle Question?????
Most of the drop spindles I've seen in catalogues, etc, seem to be a 2 1/2" drop.

Dropped spindle on left. Stock height spindle on right. Notice difference in spindle pin position is higher in casting on dropped spindle, raising the wheel higher into inside fender.
