No 2" front perches I'm aware of, mainly because there's just about no market for them. Not sure why you're using that axle. It causes a few other problems for early cars that should be considered. Splitting the bones with that wide perch bolt centers will cause interference with the tires and impact your turning radius. Also, that later axle is an inch or two wider at the king pin centers (depending on compared axle) than the original axles so with fenders the tires will be out too far, without fenders it's less of a problem but looks ungainly.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon

Those are for welding on to a rear axle. He's looking for front axle stuff on a model A.

You're looking for something like this, right?

I expect that Uncle Bob's advice is dead on target, as he's forgotten more about these parts than I've ever known but if you're still looking you might call Jason Slover at Pete & Jakes, and see if he stocks them, knows where to find them or can fab them for you. He's an excellent source of hard to find stuff for hot rodding - 1-800-334-7240Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
