For the most part I agree. But if we knew for fact that an X inch taller spindle with X degrees extra caster changes the game for stock suspended vehicles, and a fabricated spindle is available that solves the problem while offering a Corvette/Mustang hub with better brake options, ABS possibilities, etc, there are some Mopar guys that will buy said piece for $1,000-$1,500. I would. I may get roasted for this because I don’t have the relationship capital in this community, but I doubt we’ll ever know because no one will do it. Enough people won’t chip in to have the research done and see if an ideal solution can be made; and it won’t be worth one individuals time and effort just for themselves. I’m willing to throw money in the pot with others to have the geometry plotted and see what solution can be had. Are others? I bet the answer is no. And that’s fine, but we need to not get wadded about brand X having all the good stuff.
I’ve already reached out to Michigan Metalworks about a custom spindle using a Mustang hub and four piston caliper. They’ll do it, so I can bring them an FMJ to match the pickups but fitting a replaceable hub and better caliper options. They’ll build it and I got a one-off. They’ve done one-off spindles for $1,500. My goal in it is part service/availability for my daily driver ‘76, as well as performance. Shoot, Chris Bolander could probably use a similar piece to improve his setup.
