You got it. Of course, you could move the lower ball joint outward as well. Whether you could move the upper ball joint inward enough with just alignment, I don't know - so you might need custom upper control arms.

yes, those are the basic style of spindle, dennis will have to chime in on which one he is gonna run. mine use a GN style snout, and a winters forged hub with built in rotor carrier. i looked at all the different options to see if i could use an off shelf item, but nothin fits my 1 off design even close, so after researching the build process, i decided to build my own.

i have more time and money into my modular jig than expected, but i can build my spindles and make design changes if needed in no time flat.

I am running the Impala 9" version. It uses a full size ball joint taper and full size wheel bearings/seals. For a budget hub I am going to cut off the rotor hat from a pair of full size rotors and machine the hub OD to fit a generic rotor hat.

Thanks Dennis. I can see why you'd choose that set of options. I've tried to find engineering drawings for those spindles - have you found any? King pin angle, king pin height, steering arm length and offset, etc?

Anything else?

Thanks!

This is on my 67 fastback........

where did those come from? i havent seen any with the lower taper as part of the steering arm that bolts to the upright. btw, 8 piston calipers :wow:

They look exactly like mine.

Are you running the offset length steering arms Sideoiler?

nevermind.... had my head up my a$$ again, i was thinkin wide 5 style fabbed spindles where the lower taper and steering arm is welded into the upright.



so if i was to use the impala style spindle with gn snout, then the winters hubs would work..... right?

im thinkin i could possibly run the off the shelf impala spindle, and adjust the r.c. with balljoints to get back to the same point as with custom spindle pin height.
