The dropped spindles can be had from a Hillman Minx ( series V & VI ),
Singer Gazelle ( series V & VI ) and Sunbeam Rapier (series IV & V ) that
were produced from late '63 to '67 . From what I've been told, they only
came on cars sold in the U.K. , Australia and New Zealand although I've come
across a few rare others...
They have the stub axle located exactly 7/8" higher than Alpine/Tiger
spindles which effectively lowers the car the same amount. I have 3 sets
that I've acquired over the years at no small expense. One set is for sale
at the right price...

I suspect I must know this before I can die
happy. Do not let me down. I am VERY
thick-witted: it took me seven months when I
lived in Connecticut to understand why I had
become a "gear head" just because I was cleaning piston heads.
Curt Meinel can tell you how monomaniacal I can be ....
