Thanks for the replies. I am aware of the frame shortening technique, but was curious to see if there is a far simpler way to slightly shorten the wheelbase of my donor frame. I am less than 2 inches from what I want, so that's why I was asking about the "wheelbase correctors" that I have read about (but never seen). If I have to cut that factory weld to shorten things up a tiny amount I will, but if there is a nice, quick, simple trick then I am game for that. I suspect that the wheelbase correctors are a play on Ky Savage's suggestion about relocating the spring pin (or the spring pin hole in the spring perches), so that's why I am asking if anybody can describe them or post a pic of them.

Thanks!

Stephan
