The Deuce Factory has a line of polished stainless steel suspension components.  We are using a number of the front end components starting with their stainless dropped I beam axle.
G T batwings, spring perches, lower shock mounts, front spring shackles, spindles, drag link and tie rod end are all polished stainless steel.  We are going to assemble the front suspension and locate the hairpin mount locations on each frame rail.  Be sure and check out the pictures.

     While Tom is assembling the front end components, let me show you a little tool that we use in setting up the caster in the front end.  The tool inserts in the king pin boss of the front axle.  The flat portion is on the center line of the mounting pin portion of the tool.  We always set up the caster off the king pin bores in the front axle. The machined bores in dropped axles are not always the same side to side.  We have found as much as 3 degrees difference between the bores in the same axle.
     Once inserted in the king pin bore we can mount the angle indicator off the flat machined area of the tool. We check both bores in the axle to know where we stand on caster angles side for side. Follow along in the pictures.
