It does look so much better now...

It is amazing how much difference there is between the two osswald kits... I have the new one on my DAF and the tail is sitting up.

Instead of getting an old osswald kit, I picked up a pair of scale art hangers... They are the closer to right height but will require some serious mods to get it all to fit, but it will correct the stance.

It would be interesting to see how high the rear wheels are in relation to the top of the frame rails, I can't quite tell from the pictures.

Cheers,
AP

Hi apfubar,

This photo shows the rails and the top of the tires. This is the first set of bolsters. In this photo I have the bolsters bolted to the inside of the rails, I plan on having notch milled in the rails and bolting the bolsters on the outside of the rails but in the same height location that they are here.

Also the two different Osswald kits made no difference in height because the the spring pack bolt in the same location in relation to the frame rails on both sets of bolsters. It does change the angle of the lower links however.
