please contact the helpdesk.If there is anyone using ATV spindles/brakes out there, I'm curious as differentmethods of attaching the spindles to the gear. The particular set I am usingis cast as one piece with the sockets for the ball joints being unitized withthe spindle. This seems like a fairly solid way to attach them as well as allowa pivot point for setting the toe in....or is it better to cut the spindleoff and use it by itself to save weight and keep it simple?thanks,Jon JonesIronton, Mo________________________________________________________________________________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: ATV spindlesJohn: I'm using Heager axels and brakes that I got from AS&S. They comefrom the ATV background, but are still removed from what you are doing.I am using aluminum Douglass ATV wheels and balloon tires. You mentionedtoe in. There was an article in Custom Planes a few months back that hadan excellent article about wheel alignment. They say "NO TOE IN" I builtmy gear legs with a tiny amount of toe in, and now I am going to have toheat up the lower ends to bend the toe in out. Leon S.
