This memo followed in theory right on the heels of the Hemi SS package cars. These were really covert and super trick. AKA The Reeker Files. Now ya'll know where the madness started.

I'll start adding to this thread now. I havent even read all of this thread. The 4 washers on the strut arms are almost a lb. 14.8oz to be exact. I just bought 4 grade 8 washers and they weigh 4.2 oz. So over half pound easy and cheap

These spindles are interesting. They seem a little hint different from each other. I believe in Andy Finkbeiner's recent book "B-body performance upgrades" there is mention of a lighter later year spindle. I don't really know if this will apply to A-bodies though.
Did you also grind away at the top portion of the spindle on the left?
I would suggest not to grind at these pieces to much being that they are cast to be strong at different points and some bosses are integral to strength. Be careful out there and study it all before going forward. Measure twice, then measure again just before the cut as they say.
Very soon there will be some interesting ultra super tricks added here and abroad. Keep an eye out.

If i was using rubber bushings I would have went with a cupped washer but the poly bushings I dont think it matters one bit.
After I cut a section of the spindle off, I used a die grinder and took off the casting ridge all the way around so yes its narrower but I think in a good way. I still think more could come off
