Thread: Spindle Question

Tweet

Lots of variable based on part choices.
From the basic, if he's only changing to Ford hydraulics then it will require a spacer ring for the spindle register (available from Speedway and others). Ad the 4 mounting holes will require either slotting or weld and drill depending on personal preference. BTW, the rears will be an issue too on clearance of the wheel cylinder to the spring perch, the usual result is a slight rotation of the backing plate to clear, but be mindful of ability to fully bleed the cylinder. If he doesn't already have the brake assemblies I would suggest the '42-8 rather than '39-41, they're easier to adjust.

If he want's an easy way to mount a master cyl. take a look at Cling's, they make a nice, clean kit: https://www.clingsaftermarket.com/ among other parts that could be useful.

After that it can become more complicated with dropped axle and spindle choices, but in some ways easier too........just depends on what the end result desired is.
