Are you updating your car? All of those pieces have to work together or you really get lost. Midgets use several different axle lengths and offsets. That stuff should correspond with what you have on the rear axle.

Are you just looking to up date to heavier Midget axle parts and spindles? Domelts are a very good race car. Without more insight to why you are changing you could be making a change for the worse. Do you want to race wing or non wing? What size track and bank is most common? Are you wanting to change over into a more modern heavily offset car?

If I were you I would invest a dime and call up Domelt and tell him what you are looking to accomplish and go from there. Then if you have a problem or other concerns he would be my go to guy.

Although all front axles may look alike subtle changes as to the placement and angle of radius rod brackets, and their placement on axle, placement of the panard bar spud can all lead to something that works or does not work.
