No, I know for a fact that the RMS spindles are iron not aluminum. I have installed several RMS alterkations.

I think you are right they are all forged from the factory. I can't imagine that RMS would have the capability to make their own spindles and that explains the welded changes.

I am not sure if it is forged to be honest. If you google search "Ackerman? Or not? Does it matter?" including the quotes it should take you to the page. If not PM me and I will email the pdf to you.

They don't cast a new spindle, they weld on the new arm to the mustang II part. Here is a great article on Anti-Ackerman, Ackerman and parallel steering concepts and how much it affects handling. http://www.me.ua.edu/me364/PDF/Steering_Ackerman.pdf

No, the modification is to the steering arm on the spindle. It is longer and has an extension that pushes the tie rod point down. This is a photo of the lower half of an alterkation kit. RMS then made me the upper arms and eccentric adjusters.

Wild is right, I have done several '50s cars and trucks and the Volare was big years ago. It made for a cheap, easy (although funky and heavy) swap. As that stuff got harder and harder to find we started going to the MustangII/ Pinto stuff. I run several parts of an Alterkation kit under my "55...

Agreed, I have used Wilwood kits and modified SRT8 stuff with good luck. Biggest problem I encountered was crap / mismatched master cylinders.

I would agree with most of the posts with the exception of brakes. Unless you are doing a restoration put as much brake on as you can afford
