Re: Looking for drum brake upgrade parts

" From: farna@xxxxxxx

" I've only seen two spindles: one for drum and one for disc brakes.

i've seen thin-flange drum spindles - which -may- be the same as disk
spindles - and thick-flange drum spindles, meant to equal the disk
spindle plus caliper bracket, and i've seen a pile o' part numbers in
the mitchell interchange.

" Some of the big cars w/big Bendix or KH discs may use a different
" spindle as the bearing set is a different number than the others.
" The difference, however, may be in the rotor and not the spindle. 

nb. the big bendix setup used '74-8 on big cars and across the board
'75-6 has its own set, but everything else, drums and disks, before
and after, is covered by a single set.

" Short answer: drum to drum spindle should be the same. 

i think this is right also.
