AFX Spindles - SOLD OUT.

[Marcus SC&C]

My digital calipers aren`t big enough to measure the caliper pin spacing. My trusty tape measure and Mk1 eyeball put it at about 9.0312535814". Of course it looks like the ol Mk1 may need to be recalibrated by .020"? BTW the holes in the spindles (AFX and C5) are each about .019" oversized so you have a little room for error. Mark SC&C

Thats a good one Mark!!

Just curious.. Why do you need to know this measurement ? Are you trying to bolt aftermarket calipers not desinged for a c5 vette ?

IMO the beuty of these is that they accept c5-c6 compenents ! :D

Found a great deal on some calipers and want to find out if they will fit. If I can confirm they will work I will let everyone know what they are.

Ok but do they have the right "backspacing" ? I mean they can bolt up but it doesnt mean that they will line up with the rotor perfectly..

[Damn True]

That is what I am trying to determine.

Step # 1, will they bolt to the spindle?
Step # 2, do they have the appropriate offset?

One step at a time.

Also dont forget about the clearance for the diameter of the rotor.


Oh ! while I'm in this thread I might as well ask you guys with the same kit. I noticed that c5 Rotors have angled cooling fins. Which way are they supposed to be ?
