BTW, what size heims are you using for the rear?

Please keep in mind, this is one of those things that though it may work on paper it may not work in reality. The swing arm heim mod has
never been tested!
A lot of the stuff I've shown during this project have worked well for me for many years. The boxed bearings and axle conversion have held up perfectly for over five years.
This Mod still has to serve the test of time.
The heims are 5/8 X 5/8-18 with a load rate of 13,400 lbs. That's all I know!
Our company uses Midwest components Inc. for so much stuff, Midwest assigned a service/tech rep. just to handle our business. He travel around the country visiting the various facilities. I see him every couple of weeks or so. I explained to him what I was looking for, next trip through he tosses heims on my workbench," These ought to work for ya"
I can get specs. part# etc if you need them.
