do you guys think that mustang II spindles that can be found on ebay real cheap are crap steel?
I have some 2" drop spindles on my truck now, but it turns out I will need regular ones. I know where to get them, but they aren't cheap, but I sure don't want to watch one of my wheels go sailing away beside me on the road.
I got mine from TCI and have never used them except for mock up, what a waste.
Heidt's is the top of the line. Kugel and Pete & Jakes are fine.
we are in the exact same boat. the 2 inch drops on my 53 chevy set it just plain too low so i bought some useded FOMOCO spindles from ebay. i didnt trust the others either cause they are probably cheap chinesse castings. i paid $95.00 for the pair including shipping. i hope to sell my TCI 2 inch drops to cover the cost.
I think I just found the same guy you got your fomoco spindles from. His are $95 with shipping.
Do you know if the caliper brackets are interchangable between the new 2" drops and those used stock height spindles?
they look a little different.
the guys name was luckytubebender. i cant tell you yet if thier nterchangeable ( i hope they are :confused: ) i havent got them yet. he said he droped them off to FedEx friday so hopfully i will get them tommorow or the next day. i'll take a look and let you know.
Just one little bit of infor to add. If your using/hunting for original Ford Mustang II spindles the 1975-8 spindles are supposed to be a little stronger than the 1974 units due to being designed for the added weight of the V8s.
tcodi, i got my spindles today and the braket moutings for the brakes are different but the holes for the mountings on the spindles are on the same place. it looks like i just have to switch my gm brake brakets with the ford ones that came with the spindle.
Hey, what do you guys want for your dropped spindles???
i'll send you a PM or E-mail whatever they call it
is this how your drop spindles mount the bracket?
yep, that looks right. i checked it all out and everything bolts to the ford spindles just like the TCI spindles. the ball joint and tie rod and caliper bracket. its good to go. i think it raised the front end acually about 3" and i think it looks way better. also before the front tire looked like it was sitting too far forward in the fenderwell and now it looks perfectly centered. :D
GREAT
thanks for the info.
