'31 Model A Tudor Sedan Rear axle
Well I ran into another problem today. I wanted to put my rear axle, engine and tranny in today so I could finish my new subfloor and it looks like my axle is too narrow. It's 56" from hub to hub and I think I could use 60". Anyone else have any ideas?? I'm really happy with this body but I really didn't want to re-do my whole rear. I think I'll just order the brackets this time instead of making everything.
My body is 54" where I need to go and I figured I'd need a couple inches on each side for clearance. I don't have the wheels I want yet but the ones I've been looking at have about 4" backspacing and I imagine the tires will hang over about an inch and a half. The biggest wheel spacers I can find are 1 1/4" and I think I'd need 2". HELP.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
