Can anyone measure a ski spindle from an apex for me? I'm looking for the length of the vertical shaft that passes through the steering knuckle. Also the diameter of that shaft where the bushings would sit. Any pictures would be great too, thanks.

If your wondering, they will work in a trailing arm sled. You will want cranks from a viper for the correct stops. I have all of that if that is what your doing?

That's what I'm thinking but just want to make sure the length and diameter is ok for the short spindle trailing arm, I know they shortened them from the rx-1 but I don't know how much.

Just measured my Apex spindles about a week ago. Don't remember the actual length but, they are approximately a 1/4 inch longer than the srx spindles. And the diameter is the same. Both machines use the exact same bushings. The splines on the apex are much finer though. SRX are course splines.

Perfect, thanks . Sounds like it is close enough to work.

That looks perfect, I feel much better using stock parts instead of something custom.
