Gents, Please take a look at the photos below.

I'm currently in the midst of restoring my old Frog. To give you some background, the Frog when I got it, was riding on a Blackfoot chassis. It had a complete Frog front end, suspension, rear suspension, swing arms, gearbox and drivetrain. I replaced the chassis with a Frog one, new wheels and tires and other small vintage Frog bits.

Now, here's the issue. It seems to me I have an excessive camber issue. The front tires have a very slight toe-in which is normal (I set it that way). The front spindles have the correct 90 degrees per the manual. The radius arms are set correctly with the correct amount of suspension play.

What could possibly be the issue? Is it possible that I have a set of Blackfoot steering arms which is causing the issue? Or is this completely normal? Many thanks for any help/info -Blake ajaqybyh.jpgge9adysy.jpgazarereb.jpg5u9yvuzu.jpgu9ebuved.jpg

Kev,

Will check that when I get home. I honestly never even thought of that after disassembly and re-assembly. Since I never had the actual sprue to tell which part was which.

Well...found the problem...

Sonuva...grumble. So glad the previous owner knew what he was doing. Le sigh

I had more or less the same problem with my O.R.V., except I did not build it with all top arms! Yet how easy it is to slip up on that step...
