You can try AAJ brakes as well for the adapter.

They are listed on the vendors list of the 62to65 website.

I contacted the seller of the spindles you are talking about and 
received the following response:
"My spindles come from MBM brakes and this is what they have them listed 
as fitting. You may view these on their website at 
www.mbmbrakeboosters.com I have sold these and not had any problems."

I don't feel comfortable with the limited information available at the 
website. I would stick with the Mopar stuff myself. In fact I did and it 
has worked flawlessly for a number of years. My spindles came from a 
1975 Valiant.

I hope that helps.
