Scott Drake - big bearing spindles & brakeconversion?

Post by iglooman »

Hello team.

I'm upgrading my 65 caliente to V8 stuff and since the Scott Drake big bearing stuff is only a little more I figured I would go with that.

But so far have no confirmation the following will all work (below). I assume they will since 65/66 falcon/ranchero/mustang steering stuff will all fit, minus center link of course.

1965 - 1969 Mustang Big Bearing Front Disc Brake Kit (DBC-A120-BB-DS)

Big Bearing Forged Front Spindle, Passenger Side, 64-70 Mustangs (C5ZZ-3105-HD)
(with outer tie rod upgrade)

Big Bearing Forged Front Spindle, Driver Side, 64-70 Mustangs (C5ZZ-3106-HD)
(with outer tie rod upgrade)

Thoughts? Feedback?

thank you all!

Looks like it’ll all bolt up ok. Good luck and post an update

Thanks Jim.

I decided to go with a 71-73 used set and see how that works out.

Are the C80A big bearing?

I do not know what the bearing size would be, the spindles are packed in a box somewhere on my parts rack.
I believe these are ‘68-69 Mustang disc brake units. I am sure they would fit Comet control arms, I used ‘70 Boss 302 spindles on my Cyclone, only difference was the depth of the outer tie rod taper.
