With the other forum gone, anyone holdin information?
Any tie rod ends and such I can make work? Weld some different spindles up? Machine different tapers?

Anyone have a diagram or actual part of the idler arm bracket, in particular the bushing I no longer have. Best I can tell the manual skips over it. All I have left is the sleeve, end up with about 1/2†of vertical play, not sure if it should be eliminated at the top, bottom or neither. Toying around with doing one out of bronze.

Spicer part # K8172 You will need to drive out the sleeve, it is part of the bushing itself, it should have come out with the rest of it. | | |
