spindles and caliper location - 07/29/17 02:29 AM
I'm going to go through my front suspension and I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious as far as front mounting calipers.
67 coronet, not sure on the spindles because I haven't pulled it apart, but it has volare/diplomat calipers now I think. Mounted to the rear. Everything is old and crusty so I'm going to replace the calipers and already ordered some 76 dart calipers, 2.75" bore.
I want to mount the calipers to the front of the spindle because I feel the hose routing is cleaner. Sway bar interference isn't a concern.
So when I reassemble all this, I can just mount the spindles on the side that puts the caliper up front and I'm good do go?
Going to order 11.75 rotors and adapters from doctordiff, prob going to get the stainless hoses too unless that's just bling...
other things, going from 1-1/8" MC bore to 1.03", manual.
have an adjustable proportioning valve.
