Dave,
>If I decided to make my own spindles would #8 bolts be strong enough for the pivot and the axle?
-They'd be appropriate for the knuckle kingpins, but not axle pivot... Grade 8 can get pretty brittle, and the axle-pin might snap under a good shock. You won't be drilling a Grade 8 to stick a roll-pin through it...
So what would you recommend?
