use a c clamp to press it in, only the right needs to be done the original bolts the bottom part of the spindle is riding on the threads of the bolt
and i am sure when they built these they never bothered to make the spindle riding on the full shank probably because its going to require using
a longer bolt and threading up to where it tightens the spindle and allows a good surface for the bottom of the spindle to ride on, last night i had
a longer shank bolt and tried this on the good barrel collar and there was zero movement no wobble at all i think Steve W address this on
the alley Kat reproduction video , like Ted is saying if they were selling these in the day and i think the Blitz is a well built Kart then yes it its
its not formula one technology here thanks for everyone input here , good think you started this Doug
Sounds good, Richard! I bought the correct size expandable reamer at Carlisle (flea market) a few years back, but its stamped "brass," so I've been chicken to try using it on steel.
