Brake Calipers 3<BR><BR>Local mechanic thought that if I had the spindles with
the correct caliper<BR>mounting hole size and distance apart, I could keep and
install my new<BR>calipers by changing the spindles.<BR>Turns out, I have a
set of spindles, kept in nice plastic<BR>bags...accidentally discovered just
last week. I have no idea what year car<BR>they are from....maybe from
the otherwise useless '71 axle beam?<BR><BR>I'll crawl under and compare these
parts to what's on the car...but...as<BR>ever...are there surprise differences
between a '71 spindle and a '73?<BR>(...besides the caliper mounting holes,
that is.)</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>The big difference between 71 and 72 is the caliper mounting bolt hole
spread. It changed from 2.5 to 3 inches. The calipers also changed to the 2
bleeder crew type, and the rotor diameter changed as well.
