Mustang Drop Spindles

Spindles

I want them for the short steering arm for r&p steering.

Right you are. I just fit a 65-67 rotor to a 70 type drum spindle by using a 70 type inner bearing. Of course, the 65-67 bracket fits, so the 4 pot caliper and its shield should fit as well.

I'm not sure many will want to use the early model 4 piston caliper on 68-73 cars, but choice is good, and I appreciate the advice and suggestions.

hi Dennis, just checking to see how this project is progressing. i've almost got the mustang done and i've already bought the cougar project car that will replace it and will be getting the drop spindles and disc brake conversion. once i get the mustang sold i'll be ready to get the cougar project started and the brakes and spindles will be one of the first projects to get done.

im also intrested in getting a set of spindles as long as its not more than a 1.5 " drop and curious u said ur not gonna do the r&p setup but would the arm be beefed up in any where it could be drilled out and made to work just a thought

I have a lot of projects in development. I have nearly wrapped up the 68-73 type front brake kit. I have all the parts but the hoses and hardware in hand. Those are due in August. The design and logistics are complete for a KH type 65-66 kit. It is in production now. The drop spindles are being modeled now. In addition, I have been very busy keeping up with developing my business infrastructure. It's hard doing everything myself.

I have made a couple of design and marketing decisions. I have decided it is impractical to produce a steering arm with the original and R&P tie rod mounting holes. A R&P type may follow. The target drop is 1.5". It may be reduced a little if the original spindle has interference issues (original 70-73 type rotor).

sweet, keep us posted. i'm also interested in the KH type brakes to go with the drop spindles. once i get the mustang sold and the cougar to the house i'm going to start ordering parts for the cougar to get it ready for the paint shop then brakes and suspension are next up after that. what i really want is the drop spindle and KH style 4 pistons brakes, a power booster conversion and possibly some larger rear drums, i've decided against rear discs for now.

i'm also going to be using some Opentracker suspension pieces and if Classic Performance Products has their lower A-arm conversion kit done i'm looking to maybe get that kit as well, if not it will be more Opentracker stuff there too. i'm hoping someone will be offering an affordable rear 3 or 4 link for the rear as well. i was really wanting an evolution motorsports rear 3 link but it's just going to be too much money i'm afraid. ideally i'd like to use the TCP G-Bar rear 4 link but they don't make one for the cougar only mustangs and unfortunately the cougar rear suspension is slightly different than a mustangs.
