98+ F Body Brake users check in. Quick Question

[Conrad283]

Hey everyone. I'm doing the 98+ F Body Brakes on my 69 Nova. I just got the brackets from Rich Hoag (They're beautiful), and I need just to get diameter on the hubs turned down a bit.

BUT, I need to know what size bolts people used to mount the caliper bracket to the spindle and the caliper to the caliper bracket.





Thanks,
Andrew

I am useing this same exact set up on my 67 camaro,but I made my own brackets. The upper bolt that mounts the bracket to the spindel is 5/8x28x1. As for the bolt that I used to bolt up the bracket,spindel,and the steering arm. I used the stock one, 1/2x2 1/2 fine thread. Found all at the local hardware store. Hope this helps you out.

The upper mounting boss bolt is 5/8-18...I'm pretty sure the above is a typo. The steering arm bolts should be 1/2-20 and you want at least 2 threads sticking through the nut, so choose your length accordingly as it will vary based on your bracket thickness. I would suggest using Grade 8 hardware.

Hey I know I am the new guy here, but even after searching "F Body Caliper Brackets" in various forms, I am not finding anything on these things! Will they clear stock wheels (such as my AO rallyes??)? I am guessing not. What is Richard Hoag's username on here?
