Subject:      Help Needed Examining 16" Version Modifications
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I spent some time in my microfiche this vacation and I noticed about the
16" version that not only were the rear trailing arms different but the big
front suspension piece that holds the front wheel bearings is also
different. This is the big thing with a ball joint at the top.

Does anybody know how this front suspension piece may be different or
superior on the 16" version. The rear trailing arm on the 16" version is
different to allow mounting of a larger diameter tire. It would be helpful
to know if this wheel bearing housing also enabled a lager tire to be
mounted. If so, it might be regarded as a requied piece for those of us
planning to install maximally large tires.

If there is anyone else listening that can expound on the nature and
purpose of 16" parts it would be helpful to have some comments posted.
