kelsey hays spindle question

[drnovaman]

Would someone be able to tell me if kelsey hays spindle is the same as 9 inch drum spindle.I would like to convert to wildwood brakes and need to know if I need to locate different spinles and/ or controal arms.

10" drum spindle

caferacerx hit it all three are different.

But at least the 10" and Disc use the same larger bearings.......

Doesn't one of the newer brake manufacturers now have a kit to install their disc brake components using your existing drum spindles?? Either SS Brakes or Master Power Brakes, or somebody like that. Yep, these guys hit it on the head, they may use the same larger bearing, but with no caliper mounting holes, disc is disc and drum is drum!!! Geof

I installed the wilwood front disc kit in place of the factory KH disc's on my 69 swinger and had to change the spindle per there instructions to the 9'' or 10''drum spindle. doesnt sound right to me, but it worked perfect. they just need to know what size spindle you will be using. ball joints and controll arms remained the same as the origional equipment
