Re: [Chevelle-list] Disc Brake Swap

[Tom Rightler]

G body brakes are barely adequate enough for one of those cars let alone
a heavier Chevelle.  It would be much easier to simply convert your drum
spindles, order new backing plates, caliper brackets, and go buy the
rotors, bearings & seals, and loaded calipers at NAPA.  
The other option is go to a junkyard and find a 9C1 caprice or Impala SS
and yank the spindle assemblies off it and use the Camaro 1LE rotors.

Quick question to you guys, I am going to be putting front discs on the
71 in the next little while, I have heard of guys using g body spindles,
do they bolt straight up? No I am not even thinking about a brake kit
yes it is easier but not cheaper and I have a budget set for this car, I
plan on being able to sell it for a little profit
 , plus access
to a couple G bodies. Anyway any info would be great.

I put 75 Nova spindles on my 65 with a ball joint and tie rod kit from HO
Specialties. I had a Nova parts car for free. Now there are so many kits out
there it is not worth the effort. There is a slick 2 inch drop spindle that
is tall like the Nova spindle and uses stock GM caliper etc.
