[Tigers] Drop Spindles

[Jim]

Marc

The dropped spindles can be had from a Hillman Minx ( series V & VI ),
Singer Gazelle ( series V & VI ) and Sunbeam Rapier (series IV & V ) that
were produced from late '63 to '67 . From what I've been told,  they only
came on cars sold in the U.K. , Australia and New Zealand although I've come
across a few rare others... 
They have the stub axle located exactly 7/8" higher than Alpine/Tiger
spindles which effectively lowers the car the same amount. I have 3 sets
that I've acquired over the years at no small expense. One set is for sale
at the right price...

Thank you, Brother Edinger. Now, pray, share with
us the basic concept:  what in the world are "drop spindles"

I suspect I must know this before I can die
happy.  Do not let me down.  I am VERY
thick-witted:  it took me seven months when I
lived in Connecticut to understand why I had
become a "gear head" just because I was cleaning piston heads.

Curt Meinel can tell you how monomaniacal I can be ....
