    Full size car spindles? 65-70 all the same?

    Grabbed the front disc brakes off 70 Electra at the wrecking yard today....well didn't have ALL the tools I needed so I got the rotors, calipers and caliper mounting plates. I'm hoping these could go on any 65-70 Buick full size. Whadda think?

    might not be a perfect fit; I had to mill a 5/16ths bearing retainer for the inner bearing on my Wildcat (64) so the rotor/bearings from the Rivvy would fit without ANY slop. so you might end up with the same situation. but it's a cheap fix; $30 bucks.

    the caliper brackets might not match up; I went with "Scarebird" brackets; $165. You can call them and they can tell you what will fit.

    On my '64 Riv. I used a disc set-up from a '70 Estate wagon. I used spindles & all. Same wheel bearings & seals. Only mod was to cut off the 5/16ths. triangle on the lower control arm for the steering stops. Without removing the turning radius would have been huge. I used a '70 dual master also & modified my booster to fit because of clearance problems with the headers I made 40+ yrs. ago. I believe that for the '66 you could use the whole power booster & dual master assembly as a bolt-in item.
