I acquired another Bailey 1000cc minisprint unknown year but guess mid 2000s and it has two mounting points for a jacobs ladder, question is will a longer jakes ladder have any benefit over a 12 inch ladder??? I run short 3/8ths sometimes bumpy slightly banked tracks. Thanks, Tom

I think I would try it like it came to you, then if you want to experiment, you'll have some base line to go from, altho I really doubt if you'll be able to tell a difference, a 12" ladder is really pretty long for a car that size. Bob

the original should be correct. most are not. the axle should move all the way up/down without moving left/right

thge shorter one will make the car react quicker the longer one slows it down. measure the distance between moiunting points on the chasis whatever it measures is what you have to run. Ie if theyre 13" in between then you have to run 13" long ladder for it to work properly
