That would be awesome because I dont have the first clue of sizes. Do yoy have an idea of where to get the concave washers rhat fit on the studs of the ulper control arm?

If you can't find any, I can look through a box of misc hardware from over the years that might have some.

There's also another option.... I've ground the shaft flat in that area so a standard flat spacer can be used. This was during a disc swap & various years of parts were utilized. I don't know exactly what you have but I know there's more than one way to solve the dilemma.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Johns 66

John not sure what all bolts you're needing but a local place here has full front end bolt kits for a littel cheaper then going to the hardware store and they are correct length and tapered.

http://sokyclassics.com/product.php?skcid=1003942

They also have a stainless option and they are really quick at shipping.

Best of luck!

John,

Are you looking for item #9 in the attached diagram or the round washer that is flat on one side and concave on the other side that goes against the frame between the frame and the shims (item #8)?

Karl,
The ones I took off were round, if I remember correctly one set had a concave face and one set had a convex set.
Based on the drawing you posted they definitely go ion Bolt #7
