there's one more combination of rotor/caliper bracket

that Speedway carries to fit early Chevy spindles.

that's Mustang II rotor, which we've seen, BUT

with Mustang II CALIPER.

sort of all Ford brakes on early Chevy spindle.

have a nice day!

The GM caliper appears to be a large and bulky unit. The Ford caliper appears to be a smaller unit, and my weigh in less. I would be tempted to see if your local auto parts guys, or rebuilders have one of each in stock. That way you could check out the size, and with a bathroom scale, you could check the weight.

I wouldn,t care just what brand of caliper was fitted up to the spindle/rotor combo, providing it could do the job. As mentioned, the rebuilders would have many samples to look at. Bring in some coffee,s and a good attitude, and that should get you rollin.

there's 3 different rotor/caliper combinations to pick from.

now after all this, i think i'll do the Sprint Car axle.

this '49-53 type axle is heavy and

i am committed to using Sprint Car torsion bars and

a light weight quickchange rearend.

plus the price comes out the same.

the spindles and GM calipers are less but then

for one thing the brackets are more.

have a nice day!
