Speed Tech caliper brackets

[matty b]

Hey does anybody know if it is required to have drum spindles or just the drum hubs with the speed tech brackets? I have chevelle disc spindles and after coming across these brackets I think I wanna use them but Id rather not have to buy drum spindles although I could probably grab a set fairly cheap. Please lemme know thanks!!

Yes you do. My car had factory front disc brakes and when I did my big brake upgrade I got 69 front drum hub and turned them down so the C4 z06 rotort would fit over the hub. I used the disk brake spindles that were on the car.

I'd go the drum spindle setup -that way you can pull the complete disc setup off and either sell or store them for later use just my .02c

ok so the disc spindles are ok to use, I dont wanna buy extra spindles and selling the stuff probably wont pay for much, I dunno anyone who'd buy used brake parts... thanks though answered my question

The difference between the disc/drum spindles is shown in this picture from David Pozzi's website. The upper bolt boss is shorter on the disc spindle. Therefore a braket made for a drum spindle would need a spacer to use on a disc spindle.



This picture from Speedtech's site illustrates the "height" of the upper bolt boss on the drum spindle-the recessed area on the back of the bracket.

That is correct, however, speedtch provides the correct spacer for the upper boss. Everything bolted up perfectly.
