RE: [Chrysler300] Spindles, brake conversions

["Vath, Michael J." <mjvath@xxxx>]

Good mornin'.
As far as the master cylinder, you should be right. Additionally, for the over/under booster cars, a '69 Dart dual master works also. The real key for the pre-'62 cars isn't the mount bolt spacing (same for many years) but lid clearance. The '69 Dart dual master that I used on my '61 Newport (w/Aspen/Volare discs) was very low profile; rectangular in shape and had a verrrry convenient center hold-down bolt that when loosened, allowed the lid to be moved a 1/4 turn, greatly facilitating easy fluid check/add.

ok here is the info in my interchange; 50-65 years only listed;

ALL 57 should match FULL size 58-62 Chryslers excluding Windsor &
Newport
63-64 are listed as different.
65 diff from rest, both drum and disk
According to this source you are limited to CHRYSLER ONLY,
none of the Dodge, Plymouth work, ONLY Desoto 57-61 would interchange
depending on application

BUT They ALL use the same inner and outer bearings

So I think there is probably differences in spindle length and how 
the various parts bolt on. So I would infer that a side-by-side eyeball
inspection would have to occur.
I do have a spare 57 spindle sitting around.
