Title: flight spindles
Post by: Glen on February 26, 2009, 08:45 PM

Oi!

Are redline 401 spindles different to double pinch/proline spindles?
I recently got NOS 401 bolts, but they dont fit the spindle ive got the 401s on.  The 401 bolts are wider than the current bolts.
I assume Ive got a proline or double pinch spindle and need a dimpled or double dimpled spindle?

On the left is the genuine 401 bolt, on the right is the current bolt.  As you can see its alot smaller in length and diameter.
