Hi guys I’m building the callook car I’ve alway wanted.

Did you guys remove the bump stop on beams
Did you run steering dampers?

I will narrow the beam 2inches because I’m running CB spindles early to late brakes.

Because of wheel choice.

I have always run a steering damper on narrowed beams. Bracket will need moving though iirc.

Looks like a really nice beam to start with

Where are you going to narrow it from?

If you are fitting adjusters you can take the width from there and move the frame head brackets out.

If you are narrowing it from near the ends be careful where the inner bushes are
