" I was told that Ford Mustang II hubs will for AMC spindles, but the hub
" offset is different -- almost the opposite of AMC (hub flange would be
" further out from the steering knuckle, increasing front track and
" spacing between rotor and caliper mount). Do you know what bearing set
" the MII uses? I don't think any machine work was required to the AMC
" spindles or Ford rotors to do this. 

napa says #12/#13 for mustangs including II, pinto, and most other
falcon-derived fords.  sounds like these use the same race - inner or
outer - as the amc's #2/#6, if they fit.

" I have a set of 1963 drums that I'm removing the hubs from. Note that
" drum hubs will fit on disc spindles and rotors on drum spindles, but the

true of all but the big bendix spindles, which use different bearings,
afaik.

" mounting surface (where the four holes to bolt the spindle on are) is a
" bit thicker on disc spindles to space the rotor out for the caliper. I
" have verified fit of a 1980 concord rotor on a 63 drum spindle, and vice
" versa.

the mitchell master interchange listed several flange thicknesses
starting in the early '70s, with the drum spindle generally the
thicker to match the caliper adapter behind disk spindles.
