Need spindles for late disc conversion

[Meep-Meep]

I have the 12" cop brakes from a Monaco or something and I read you don't want to use the big car spindles. Anyone have some late A/B body ones available? Thanks.

I belive there are issues with the C body spindles. I bought a Fury to use for the disc brakes then found out they won't work. I used a set of disc spindles on a 78 Magnum since they take the 11.75" rotors. They worked great on the Charger. The only thing I had to do was put offset UCA bushings in and set them so more positive caster can be obtained.
I have a pair of disc spindles I took off a Volare that will work the same, they just use the smaller rotor. If you have the caliper bracket for the 12" rotors, these will work...just swap them out. I never used them since I got my hands on the 78 Magnum spindles. There is a tech post on bigblockdart.com that has all the interchange info on disc spindles. Let me know if you're interested in the ones I have. I paid $40 for them, that's what I want for them + shipping.

I have the entire 11.75" setup complete with rotors, calipers and brackets but just need to change the spindles (according to this other article by MoPar Action). I can see fooling with the suspension geometry to get the angle of the dangle correct, but the right spindles just makes the whole issue go away. Also, if you are into road racing, having taller spindles can have a positive effect on camber change in the corners, etc... Anyway, I don't care about that and just want the car to stop. I'll send you a PM with address and Tel number. Thanks.

Parts Availability

Lots of a bodies, in salvage yards all over US...

Outside of the southwest, probably not much left...

I know im my neck of the woods (my block in the big city?) The a bodies are getting fewer and farther between. When you do find them, they are pretty raped unless you are very very lucky.
