Re: Radial tire and ladder bars
Mike, thank you. I plan to set it up just like you suggest and like I have with other buildups. If it does not perform as expected, I will sell the radial tire and install a conventional bias tire.

By chance do you have any build in progress pictures? I would like to see how you set the rear end up and frame rails mod. How wide is the housing? Thanks, |

Re: Radial tire and ladder bars
Ron, I will be posting some updates soon. Just at this moment, I do not remember the dimensions [I am old] and will check them and post soon.
I "think" it is going to be a good package, and like many things in life, the second one would be easier. I flip flopped around with the design for a while before setting into what I have now. So far, the biggest issue is the driver's seat. The OE seat is too tall, so, no choice other than a low mounted aftermarket seat. I'll post how that works out, it will be a week or two before I get that under construction. |

Re: Radial tire and ladder bars
By tha way, if I have any issues with the radial tire, I will go back to a bias tire. I know a bias tire is consistent and wins races, stand by for radial tire results

Re: Radial tire and ladder bars
Ron, the new frame is 49 1/2 inches outside to outside. The rear axle assembly is 38 1/2 inches axle flange to axle flange. Also, I have added some update photos. If you want other info let me know.
