I'll have to wait until Monday to call CPP unless someone here has run into this problem and has the answer, anyone?
Question; is there a tie rod that has a smaller taperd shank but still the same size rod to fit into the adjuster coupling.
Earlier model drum trucks had the smaller taper tie-rods. What 'year' truck were the spindles ordered for?

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.
