Has anyone cut off a rear vertical drop out and welded on a horizontal one? Or, is this too much trouble?
Dont cut the old ones off. Make new horizontal dropout brackets & weld them to the original vertical dropouts. It will extend your length of your wheel base / rear dropout length. Also only weld along the edges of the dropout brackets & dont weld across any of your dropout tubing.
