OOPS... here’s a pic where I ran into another problem, as I had mentioned earlier the early nova hubs fit on the
spindles, however the bearing seal is going to have to swapped out to match the ID and OD in this location, I’ll just
give the dimensions to my auto part supplier and he "John Y" will sort it out. I noticed about 5/16" more of the spindle thread
sticking out past the hub’s end, this also will make the track a bit narrower. I’m going to make some a set of
inner bearing spacers on the lathe to compensate this so I don’t have to mess with wheel offset.
While I’m at the lathe it would be a good time to make some tie rod adapters so that I can get the late model tie
rod to work with the steering arms of the 39 Plymouth , not a big deal, just can’t pick my brain back to metal shop
in high school and the mathematics of cutting a taper. I’ll figure it out .
Swapping the right to the left with the calipers worked this way the bleeders are facing up
and I didn’t have to make more caliper hangers, guess I was lucky there. Now it’s all coming together and
I can’t sleep well at night knowing the "fire it up and drive it out of the shop bet " is just days away. I have been
getting out in the shop in the wee hours of the morning "like closing time for the local watering hole" but I got to get her
done !
