Smile Question about the Volare front end

Can anyone tell me where to order the templates (for notching the frame) for installing the Volare front end on my '53? Thanks

I believe No Limit and Bob's F100 have them.

Also, I know that No Limit has a VHS tape on the install.

I know some here on the forum have used them but I read somewhere that the templates are not that reliable since the Volare suspensions varied a bit from vehicle to vehicle. I think the NoLimit installation video will give you more bang for your buck...welcome aboard!

Thanks. I looked Bob's F100 web site over and never found them. Might have to call, I guess.

I agree with GreatNorth in that templates are not that reliable since the Volare suspensions varied a bit from vehicle to vehicle. I purchased the NoLimit installation video and took notes and found the install to be pretty straight forward. After I completed mine I helped my friend with his Volare install and found the two Volare k-frames to be considerably different. Both went in well following the instructions but a common template would not have worked.
MAXX

Thanks for the responses. I think I will go with the video just for the price alone for now. Vacation is coming last of this month and I will have 10 days to mess with it. Thanks again
