NOTE: If you are installing Hotchkiss upper arms for the first time now, subtract 3/8 inch worth of shims from each shim stack before reinstalling the shim stacks.

Install 1/2 inch thick spacers on each upper control arm mounting stud. They can be made from 1/2 inch thick 1.25 inch steel bar stock. Cut four pieces into 1.25 inch lengths and drill a 1/2 inch hole in the center of each. Re-install the shim stacks on the studs from which they were removed and install the Hotchkiss upper control arms. Install the nuts on the studs and torque.

NOTE: The 1/2 inch spacers are based on the use of Hotchkiss upper control arms, which are 3/8 inch shorter than stock arms. Use of different upper control arms will affect the thickness of the spacers required.

Does this apply to the Robert Adams arms ,if not what have you found to be the amount added or subtracted .

I haven't aligned my front end yet, so I can't say for sure how many shims it needs. They are doing this so they don't have a big pile of shims in there. If you made four 1/2" thick spacers like the ones described, you will probably be able to use them with robert adams control arms. You will likely need additional shims, also.
