RE: B-Body Brake Conversion Revisited

[george smith <bt6t4@xxxxxxxxx>]

I bought my spindles from a u pull it for $20 or
so.Total cost was app. 350.00.This was 1995 money
however.If you use pin calipers you have to go w/ 15"
wheels due to the 11.75" rotors. I never did like the
smaller sliders and the old phenolic pistons.
