RE: [Chevelle-list] disc brake spindles

I guess I was thinking of a stock parts based setup.

I do know that the Baer 13" disc's on my Chevelle use stock drum spindles; necessary brackets were included.  I've seen other aftermarket kits that now offer disc for drum spindles.

I don't want to say that it won't work or it isn't right, but since I've been on this list (1996), I can't remember anyone posting about a successful conversion using drum brake spindles.  Maybe it's been done and not posted here, but if so, it hasn't gotten much write-up in the mags, either.

I am converting a 1966 chevelle front manual brakes to disc power dual master cylinder!  I bought information on e-bay for $3.00 on how to convert over to disc brakes!! This guy says on your old drum spindles you can grind down the top pad that is threaded ( top dust shield mounting area )  to use as disc brake spindles!!  He shows a picture of cutting off  six hundred and ten thousands of a inch (.610)  It looks like this will work, has anybody tried it??  If so is the .610 a accurate amount. to cut off?????  Any other help with this project will be appreciated!!
