you do realise that you need to fit new link & king pins
and have them reamed & pressed

this will cost more than the spindles

Most good VW places do K/L Pins. In melburg try Volkspower or if you know someone with a business you can try Hanvic sud yarra. They are wholesale only and only sell to business' in the automotive trade.

Oh and ideally go for German stuff if you can get it.

remember you get what you pay for when it comes to drop spindles

the cb ones from classic aren't too dear... and as discussed you need the tools...

get mgb to collect em and drop em at a shop for you... if its cool with him... or jump in a car - you have thousands of them - and head sud for about an hour n a half... or ten minutes to the local post office....\

:D

0419 340250 ask for Nathan

Ring the number and explain what you need. Discuss if the services on offer are enough to satisfy the requirements you have put forth.

I think there would be a bit of a market out the for drop spindles with the K&L pre installed. Id be interested and the seller could prob turn over a little profit if they bought all the parts in bulk and did the work themselves.

How come me? And do I get to help with the first born :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why not put 100 or so bricks in the front :?:

Col, no immenent travel plans on your road, but some for a bit more straight up to the right; might be able to detour a bit, but it won't be for a week or so.

But I would call Nathan. He has them ready to go. No postage, no imports, no freakin about. Just undo bolts and re-do them up again.

What happened to making not so wide??? :?:
