There are two people that want them, Mike. I wonder if you could get enough interested people to get a group purchase together?Could save you some bucks and get the spindles you want. ------------------

Yeah, I have actualy met several people who want them, with Mustangs and Falcon mostly. Maybe I can work something out. Even though I WASN'T impressed with their service.  Heres what I found today this is a copy of an e-mail I sent to a guy with a falcon who wants them. I wrote: I called FM today....I asked if they carried Granada dropped spindles? He said "only the ones we fabricate." I didn't realy understand what he meant, he was very short with me. So I asked you do have dropped spindles that will work for Granada applications? He said, "Yes the ones we make, do you want a catalog?" I asked if it had pictures that I could see what the spindles looked like. The rep said, "It has pictures of everything we carry." Seemed in a hurry? So he is sending me a catalog free of charge. So from what I get from what he said, they no longer alter the stock spindles? When I get the catalog, and if it does have any info or pictures I will send them your way. -Mike [This message has been edited by SundanceKid (edited 02-12-2002).]

Bad service is getting pretty common these days.  Some guys WANT to go out of business, I guess.------------------

Anyone ever heard of D.C. Enterprises? I have a lead that they may sell dropped spindles too? Phone number? Web site? Info?

Fatman makes some pretty nice stuff, a friend is building a 40 2 door sedan with Fatman frame and mustang II front suspension, it all looked real nice.I don't think he had any trouble with their service when he ordered his chassis, they even opened up on a Sunday (appointment) so he could pick it up.

If you can get by with 1" drop ,find a Linclon Versailes and get these spindles.Same as Granada but came with 1" lower drop built in.

Rovic, on your tip I called a few people and none of them have seen or heard of a Versailles spindle being any higher then the Granada spindle.
The people with whom I spoke with said the only differance between the two is the lower balljoint hole.
I rechecked my measurements and a 2" will be nessesary anyway. Thanks for the help.
