Hi Jack, I have put togather a Conv. this winter. I stumbled across a spindle that comes very close diamention wise to the 57"s with minor modifications they can be adapted. I have used about 79 LeBaron in the past but this is closer fit. They are off a 1976 Ford granada with 5 bolt rotor, 4 bolts were 6 cylinders. Same bolt pattern and 14" wheels will work. They have 11" rotors. If your interested let me know and I'll go in to more detail.
