Problem with Wilwood brake kit or my car?

[jefflock]

Makes me want to scream. I purchased a Wilwood kit for my 68 Dart with 10" drums. Finally got it after waiting about 3 weeks. Problem is the caliper mounting brackets are either drilled from the wrong side or my spindles are on backwards. No matter which way I turn them to get the bolt holes to line up the caliper will be on the front. I know it has to be on the rear side. CAN THE SPINDLES BE PUT ON BACKWARDS??????? HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! Jeff

It is possible to put the spindles on the incorrect side.

You must have been replying while I was PMing you.

LOL, I think so. I know its done on purpose sometimes when people swap to later year disc brakes. Could be that someone rebuilt the suspension and got them mixed up.

I would just swap them around and see if it works out. Just watch the brake hose routing, you may need a loner hose.

The car still had drums on it. The suspension was rebuilt before I bought the car. That would explain the nonmatching bolts that were installed in the lower ball joint.

Adam,
Swapped the spindles from side to side and that took care of the problem.
Thanks Jeff
