Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion

Also, at risk of preaching to the choir and I just skimmed the hubs discussion, but if there is supposed to be a cv stub through it, a used stub axle can be machined to remove the cup, leaving a bolt with sealing surface to hold it together. A tool to hold the hub by the bolt circle can be used to loosen and tighten the stub bolt. I made one from 3/8" steel plate and drilled to accept two wheel studs. Didn't need to countersink the plate. The stub cup (extremely hard material) can be rough ground off with an angle grinder, then spun while holding the grinder with light contact to be more precise for balance purposes.

Yes, the hub I have been working with expects a CV stub. RideTech has washers that they supply and a 3/4" bolt when they use the hub in their SLA kit for FoxBodies. So I bought a set (2 pair) so I didn't have to worry about it. But a cut down CV axle would be workable as well. Or a pivot to the magna-ride equipped front hub that doesn't fit as well, but also is designed not to need the bearings squeezed.
