Buzz,

I took the fulcrum brackets off, and the shafts are the same length, so I have another problem somewhere.

Today I mounted the stripped rear end chunk with the top bolts to the frame so I could check the brackets that I welded up the holes and redrilled.

When I tried to slide the bare fulcrum shafts through the brackets and into the Arntz frame noticed they were off a little.

So, I redrilled them again and welded up the ones I repaired and now the fulcrum shafts slide in easily into the Arntz frame. I did have to grind some off the flat side of the mounting points on the brackets on the RH side, and shim up the flats a little on the LH side.

After I get this wishbones installed on the fulcrum shafts and install the shafts into the frame I'll know more about what happening.

At least I will now know that the fulcrum brackets are mounted correctly.

Thanks,

Jim
