I'd like to buy one set of Mospico offset type spindles.
Please send me a picture of what you may have, and $$ wanted.
Thank you.

I've heard it said that they make it very hard to steer and have been known to break. Just FYI.

Jerry - When you say 'they' are you referring to the Mospico or Rajo offset spindles, or all offset spindles in general? Asking as I've considered getting a set for my Speedster. Thanks!

To be honest, I've never heard of Mospico spindles until now. I've only known about Rajo brand. I would imagine that any offset spindles that look like that, might generically be called "Rajo spindles". Therefore, I can't say whether or not the advice that I was given was specific to either brand.

I only know of the two makes of “offset spindles “
Not to be confused with the Ford drop spindles of 26/27 fame.
I have only had one pair of real Rajo, they had the name forged into them. However, Rajo ads from back in the day, they showed no such markings.
Offset spindles are supposed to make the steering self center.
I think the breaking and or bending is from hitting the wall on race tracks. That is where most were used back in the day. Dan

MOSPICO spindles are advertised in some early accessory parts catalogs.
