Anybody got a number on that? Just trying to compare it to the C4 suspension I'm putting on.
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, The kingpin angle of a C3 spindle is 7 degrees, the angle on a C4 spindle is 19 degrees. The distance from the hub mounting face to where the hub centerline intersects the kingpin axis is 5 7/16 for a C3 and 5 3/8 for a C4.
With that info and the total tire diameter you can simply calculate the scrub radius.

Which C4 suspension (early or late) is that info from? Are there some drawings somewhere I can get a look at?
thanks a bunch,

I'd look for point of rotation to point of rotation - Ball center to Ball center ought to be the measure in reality. I bet the line between the the center lines of the upper/lower tapers in the spindle are "pretty close." Maybe not exactly "spot-on" but close enuf.
If I go for the C4s I'll shoot some picks C3, C4, C5 and we'll have a fair compare between several generations. Although the C4 seems to have at least 2 (if not3) variants!
BTW - your project is progressing nicely. You'll note my "chilly weather" has had me on the 'net and not in the garage.
