model a axle ID

[harley rider]

from what I've learned on here I think it is 28-31.if so am I right I need 37 -48 spindles to run discs?

yes looks like somewhere around those years,but once again that has a lot of leafs on the spring.Mine was original Model A and has only 5 leafs. Anyway,doesnt matter what year exactly, get the spindles and diskbrake kit from speedway motors.They have the best price and the spindle kit has the kingpins all fit in the bushings,so you know its done properly and the brakes will fit and it all works .Saves you a lot of hassle.$ 400 bucks for all.

ID spindles

now that I have this figured out . can someone tell me how to id 37 -48 spindles I need.swap meet in my area soon.If I can find some good spindles at a good price should I buy them or am I better off with the speedways spindles.

Those spindles are never that great of a price,then you need a kingpin and bushing kit which is another 40 or 50 bucks,and then you have to get the bushings reamed to fit the kingpins,that costs more money and time.All in all I dont think you would save too much and spend more time running around. The speedway ones are done and ready to go for $200.

Here's some info on the subject. One diagram came from Speedway, not sure where I got the other one from, one of those things I saved when I came across it.
