« on: January 03, 2016, 04:47 PM »
hi all I'm in process of building a 85 gt performer doing it on the cheap so I bought some new repop skyways but the front spindle is to thick to fit into forks .  if anyone could advise if there's a souloution to this problem that would be great .

you can also file the existing spindle if you can be bothered...I would fit the proper spindle though...much nicer job and it won't stick out a mile  :daumenhoch:

file it, takes a few seconds. If you have a hacksaw chop the fookers down whilst you're at it :daumenhoch:
