Re: B-Body Brake Conversion Revisited

["Don H." <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can't say for sure if those spindels are a direct fit or not. since there 
were no factory disc brakes on a B Body until 66 and they were IIRC a KH 4 
piston set up  They look like the 73-76 A Body spindels.   I'd quiery the 
seller and find out for sure.  I did the A Body 73-76 disc swap on a 69 
Charger and it worked great and still used my 14 in wheels.  If they are the 
A Body spindels, I'd be willing to bet you could find them a lot less 
expensive elsewhere.  Of course you still have to buy all the rest of the 
stuff you mentioned.  Just my 2c.
