....Starting to get the front end together...
I used the penny's in the 4 corners of the center frame section to set the ride height that I wanted...4 penny's high across the front (aprox. 4mm) and 7 penny's high across the rear (Aprox. 7 mm.)
When I went to check the fit up between the lower control arm and the spindle I noticed that there was a gap....
....So like we do with getting the right fit on the roll cages , I drilled a hole thru the area where the ball joint would be located. Once I got everything fit up/set up I noticed that the lower control arm was too close to the wheel/brake rotor.
To remedy this, I ovaled the hole towards the outer end.....
....and then reset the Evergreen round stock at an outward angle,.....
...and then figured out where to make the cut.
Attached the spindle, thus offsetting the spindle outward enough to clear the lower control arm properly.
I offset the spindle outward so as to get additional clearance for the lower control arms. I try to get the outer end of the lower control arm to match up to the area between the brake rotor and wheel as pictured before gluing.
With these views you can see the top piece I added to the spindle for the offset. Also visible is the angled piece that I added to the spindle for the rack and pinion steering to attach to.
