I took the fulcrum brackets off, and the shafts are the same length, so I have another problem somewhere. I'll check and see what I did wrong.

Today I mounted the stripped rear end chunk with the top bolts to the frame so I could check the brackets that I welded up the holes and redrilled.

When I tried to slide the bare fulcrum shafts through the brackets and into the Arntz frame noticed they were off a little.

So, I redrilled them again and welded up the ones I repaired and now the fulcrum shafts slide in easily into the Arntz frame. I did have to shim the flat side of the mounting points on the brackets on the RH side, and shim up the flat on the LH side.

After I get this wishbones installed on the fulcrum shafts and install the shafts into the frame I'll know more about what happening.

Edit: I had the wishbones installed upside down, don't know why it would make a difference but the shafts are equal length now.

At least I will now know that the fulcrum brackets are mounted correctly.

Thanks,

Jim
