I've polled the list, and based on a lot of first-hand experience, I've
gathered together all of the pieces to convert the East Texas Studebaker's
front suspension over to early Ford beam front axle, hung on a transverse buggy
spring. (Will be using late GM disc brakes.)
In order to get the ten to twelve degrees of negative caster that I want,
should I mount the center spring perch raked at a 12 degree angle, or should I
mount the spring perch square to the frame and gain the caster by "torquing the
spring" when I push the rear of the split wishbone down to the mounting
position which would yield the twelve degrees of caster?
