Aluminium Anglia Spindles
PSweeney:
I found a pair of Strange anglia spindles at a swap meet which are aluminium and anodized.
I see Strange no longer sell these, they only offer the the 4130 anglia style and the Strange/Lamb/Camaro size adjustable height spindle for funny cars.
Any reason not to use these ?

Have been running alu P&S spindles for 20 years--- never an issue, of coarse you will need to add more weight to the front end

If npt for deal I hit on with wheels tires and spindles as package deal I would have aluminum ones now. Will have them later anyway. If you are worried I'll buy them off of you.
PSweeney:
thanks guys, think I'll hang onto them then for the next project

Watched a FED at our local track make a very nice pass...as they were towing it back to the pits the front wheel came off. Aluminum spindle broke. I heard that they had either forgot to grease the bearing or something. Anyways the heat weaken the aluminum and it let go. This might be one reason they are hard to find.
