I'm back working on the wheel-ski assembly on the Snowmobile. I had to recast the spindle-
axle assembly. checking the bible it shows
a 1 1/2 pitch, can anyone give me it in degrees. I'm having them machined to except the axle shafts and would like to get right the first time. See drawing attached.

Thank's Les that's what I needed. Like your Robert's boat engine now to build a boat and take time to go fishing. Grin.

Bob,
It likely makes little little difference but for pre-26/27 cars your "B" angle would be 93.3 degrees. For 26/27 the angle would be 92.1 degrees.

For pre-26/27:


For improved car:

Thanks Jim
It looks like I'll go for 93 Deg. because it an early and I'll only be running on them if there's no snow. The axle is behind the standard spindle like some made for speedsters.
