Bobbing my M35A3

[steve6x6x6]

Wow, nice work Steve. That's the best adaptation of M105 springs I've seen. Very clean. Why did you use build V100 instead of using new aftermarket shafts and locker?

I had collected all of the axles and lockers. There are no 1 3/4" axles for the front aftermarket. I have no interest in Ouverson eng. products.

From my A3 i have 3 complete tire ( one of them is new) and wheels leftover and 4 tires. Someone I know left 2 ( A3) compete tires and wheels and another rim laying around here.

A question for you guys running larger diameter tires on your bobbers. Did you use the original A3 internal beadlock, the beadlock from the larger tire, or no beadlock?

Yes i mounted the 14.00 x 20 on the A3 rims with the rubber bead lock. I have over 6,000 miles now on the 14.00's. I balanced my tires, you can balance (stand it up) a nickel on the dash at 60 mph.

The A3 beadlock or 14.00 x 20 beadlock?

The A3 rims with the rubber bead locks - the ones that came with the A3 rims.

OK, Thanks for the info. We have the wheels cleaned and painted with new o rings and grommets from Erik's. We should get the 14.00x20's mounted and balanced this week.

love the deuce! If you don't mind me asking what color paint code is the green you put on? did you a rattle can or air gun?

Bought a gallon of green and it was shot with a cup gun. The flat black and the red/brown was done by the rattle cans. All paint came from Rapco in TX.

 

[supeman100]

looking right now on purchasing the green, do you know the exact number code for the paint?

thank you!
