Here are dimensions from my '55 second series 3200. At the rear springs the front perch bottom rivets are 4-5/8 inches center to center while the top ones are 4 inches. The rear shackle rivets are 2-1/16 inches on the bottom and the top are 4 inches. I took these measurements by holding a tape measure on the rivets in fading light so accuracy is probably plus or minus 1/16 inch. Does that serve you well enough?
The little titles below screen names (ie shop shark) indicate the number of posts. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 14 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 14 | Eileen,thanks for your help,also would you mind doing same for front axle perch and shackle dimensions?center to center on rivits.
