baer tracker pin taper question?

[sc0ttiej]

i have granada spindles on my 70' and i just got a set of baer trackers in the mail. of coarse i cant wait to put them on, but while mocking everything up... something seems wrong. the tapered pin (male) on the rod end doesn't appear to fit snuggly into the spindle. it has a stop on it that only allows the pin to be pulled into the spindle a certain distance, and on my old rod ends there is no stop so when torqing the nut the pin seats tighty. am i just being paranoid? once i torque down the nut will the pin seat correctly so it doesn't spin? or is there a specific baer tracker for mustangs with the granada swap? i ordered the set for the 70-73, as the site instructed. anybody with any experience with this kit? thanks in advance

I just installed this kit on my 66 and since I have granada spindles I think its the same kit. Do you have pics?

The Bear Tracker Kit is year specific. You need the kit for the year of the spindle, not the car.

So Shakin/Scottie,
Does the 70-73 Baer Tracker work with the Granada spindles?

I had the BAER Tracker kit in Chepie, and I too had the Granada spindles. As long as you ordered the right kit to match tapers, it should be good. If you have too, you can add a shim under the castle nut, but make sure it's a hardened washer.
