Snipped & re-arranged.
<<This also goes for several other LBCs>>
Bunch of them in fact folks. I know 'cause I work on them<G>!
<<I also repeat that the only cars I have seen broken or cracked
spindles on are those that the spacer was missing.>>
GOSPEL !!! NEVER leave them out!! In reality, after cleaning them
up they along with spindles to my machine shop for MagnaFluxing
because I HAVE seen them cracked also. Not often tho.
I ALSO check for how LONG they are and if surfaces are equal.
I HAVE found (mostly MGBs) them 'lop-sided'; meaning that a
measurement of outside/inside of surface Point A measured to be
different from Point B which makes it 'cocked' which would play
havoc with trying to get the runout right!!
<<Now try to do that inside the splined hub for the wire wheel.>>
HeeHee, ain't gonna happen<VBG>!!!
