I'm planning to do the same and would love to jump on one or files to print one locally.

Any photos of the cluster? I’m working on mine now

I found my AutoWare CD and got their suspension pro running. We just need measurements to all pivots from vehicle center, an arbitrary line at the front of the vehicle, and from the floor. I won’t be getting to my car for a few weeks to a month so I can’t grab those off mine. But if you have...

I’m running Sniper 2, Hyperspark, the PDM, Holley’s rank and pump. It has been perfect from the start, except for my old crappy fuel tank which is why I now have Holley’s tank, my old tank had a bunch of crap in it that I couldn’t get out. Been perfect since the new tank. You don’t need a return...

I’ll let you make that call, but I’m happy to put some skin in the game. You obviously have a lot of time on this and I’m good throwing in some coin if not time. The bent sheet metal spindle is very similar to the Speedway Motors G Force upright, and if send cut send can do it at reasonable...

A lot has gone on here since I last checked in and, per the usual, I continue learning from you guys. There’s a lot here so far and I want to make sure I’m tracking with parts selection. So far the hub is S550 with SP calipers and rotors? Hard to tell from the back and forth but is there a...

@72bluNblu, you have enough time doing research on these things, what are your thoughts on spindle changes to actually improve geometry?

Thinking about the idea of custom upper control arm to improve geometry more. I think the great thing about this is project is ie being plates welded to gather and caster designed in, anybody with a stock suspended a body can fab one of these up, improve geometry, assuming that actually happens...

Mustang wheels seem to be a common go to when moving to 18’s so I don’t know if there is a need to push the wheel away from the caliper more. It’s worth keeping in mind. The benefit of the Mustang platform seems to be availability of calipers and the opportunity to go bigger. Could probably be...

The S197 and S550 stuff seems super easy to source. RockAuto has black S197 four piston calipers for $116 a piece, rotors from $41, pads from $10, and hubs from $63 (sometimes get what you pay for with pads/rotors/hubs), but this can be done for a very reasonable price. I found suspension...

That makes sense, and is unfortunate.

I'm with you guys, my goal is around wheel bearing, ABS, and better/more simplified brake options. Improved geometry is a side benefit for me, but if we can do it, let's do it. I only throw out alternative designs and production options because that's what I found in my research. I think we're...

That makes complete sense and certainly would keep costs down. I’ve seen that speedway spindle also. I imagine it’s quite a bit lighter than all the plates welded together. If that design was used, a similar idea could be used to push the hub surface out further if needed by adding and welding...

This is awesome. I agree with you, I think we need to get geometry mapped out, see what it takes to optimize, and maybe the fab'd spindle can seal the deal. I'll throw some coin in to help defray suspension analyzer costs and pay for time. If there is a lift near me I'm happy to throw my car up...

That's nice, thanks. Still working on my '69, just not much time with my business and kids. I thought about pillaging some parts for my '76 daily driver but decided against it. This spindle would be for the '76. Hopefully you, and others, jump in on the other thread. Would love to get others in...
