Fabricated A-Body spindle ideas and discussion

Something else to keep in mind is that it appears that most of the aftermarket kits for the S197 use the back of the caliper mounting ears while the stock caliper bolts to the front of the ears. At least the ones that adapt a radial mount caliper, even the GT350 calipers, seem to do that. So, if we want to be able to all of the available kits intended for an S197, the width of the ears needs to be maintained or at least be able to allow for matching.
