Default Upper Control Arm Mount

John,
If you kool at the picture, the forward tension will be pulling on the rear mount which is welded to the total end of the 1 1/2" tubing with a top gusset beveled and welded to both sides, inside and out.
With the 5/8" gr 8 bolt tight stress will be pulling on both sides.
Maybe I am missing something here but I see no way enough stress could be applied to pull the brackets away from the horizontal tubing.

Micmate,
I did not evade the question of the spindles, I posted a list with all the part numbers a while back. All stuff so far is from Pole Position.
Also, as for the rear, not a problem as I am looking to order a IRS
quickchange which can be made to the correct width. Just need to take the time to decide on back spacing order the wheels.
I will have at least 10" on the rear. I have been watching the thread about the Vintage wheels and incorrect pins and such.
Did you ever hear if there was a conclusion the that issue. I know you sid you liked yours and the quality was supurb. I will order them and tell them you sent me.
