When the new Sutton Engineering 8 ¾ monster rear was installed to replace the original rear end, we contacted Mancini Racing who had everything needed to snug the third-member to new leaf springs.  Mancini Racing provided the new 3-inch U-bolts, the locator pads for attaching to the springs and shocks, new rear shackles to improve ride height, and a great pair of sub-frame connectors to stiffen the mid-1960’s designed Uni-body construction.  Mancini also had the special tools and adjusters to maintain the correct pre-load and ride height for the new Firm Feel torsion bars. 

The search for new or even a clean usable set of front spindles to replace the small ’65 Mopar spindles was difficult.  As most of you know, buying used Mopar parts can be a real hassle and after buying two sets of larger ‘70s A-body spindles from supposedly reputable local area sellers, both sources shipped us rusty, unusable crap.  One of the advertised “near perfect” spindles had what looked like a hacksaw cut through the threads and another candidate looked as though the bearing had been frozen and rusted, then beaten with a hammer.
