B Body front disks
#2
If you're installing the B-body spindles on an A-body,you can go all the way into the 90's,like the Impala SS and the Caprice cop cars.My 72 has the B-body spindles,and I got them from a 92 Buick Roadmaster wagon.If this is what you are doing,I have a complete list,with part numbers,to do all of this correctly.

I have a pair of '79 Delta 88 front brake spindles with rotors, 4 3/4" bolt circle. I believe that I have the calipers, also; I'll have to check on that. I'm in south Florida. E-mail me to discuss: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob.

When I did this swap in the mid 1990's,there wasn't any tubular lower A-arms available yet,so I only have the Hotchkis tubular uppers.
12" front disc conversion for 64-72 GM A-body,using Hotchkis or similar tubular upper A-arms.
78-96 GM B-body spindles,LH#18016023,RH#18016024
88-92 Camaro/Firebird 1LE 12" rotors #18016035 *I installed Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors,made for the 1LE.
B-body calipers,stock or the HD police version
Lower ball joint for GM A-arms #9767113 or Moog #K6145 *These will need to be machined to fit,or you can buy a Hotchkis ball joint #1155.
64-70 uses a different tie-rod compared to 71-72.64-70 uses 80's F-body & G-body outer tie-rods.71-72 uses 73-77 A-body outer tie rods.
This set-up will lower the car about 3/4" without lowering springs,and it will push the wheel outboard about 3/8".
