Dust covers for drop spindles

[72chevy383]

Some one out there has to be running 2.5 drop spindles and the dust cover that goes on it. Can you show me some pics? Mine seems to be hitting on the lower a arm. Am I doing something wrong? 71 C/10

Nope,
I put a set of McGauys on mine and the stock dust shield does the same thing,
you can "clearance" it a little and all works good. I will try and post a couple of pics tonite

Thanks

had the same problem not that big of a deal, once i had my wheels on i just bent it slighlty with a big flathead screwdriver.

sorry home computer is sick, I just bent it with a screwdriver to give it some relief so it didnt rub.

Same here. I just bent it a little and it is fine.

Just did mine today ,I don't know how bending helps anything. From the center of the arm make a mark 5/8s " up on the shield. From left to right mark the bottom radii an in and a half from your first mark. Draw an arc thru these and cut. As in a frown.

I did mine on a truck I used to own. I'll look for it,
