Speedway sells a kit that is inexpensive . It includes the bearing adapters , bearings , seals the caliper mounting plates for the ford spindles . I would suggest the intermediate GM calipers they are a bit smaller . I purchased the 11 inch rotors and calipers from local autoparts store because of the shipping costs.
Ken i suggested the smaller calipers because i purchased the large full size chevy calipers and wish i would have got the smaller ones. But the bolts come with the brackets. The hoses i sourced from a local hotrod shop. I think they were speedway though.rooster57:
are those calipers 7/16 or metric bolts? what did you do for long brake hose?

I am using the discs and calipers from a '74 Nova donor car. I cleaned up all the excess casting crap on the calipers for a cleaner look. This set up has performed very well for me. I also used a banjo fitting and a through the frame fitting with the braided stainless hose. Check out the following pictures.

Jim: Did you make your own caliper brackets or did you get them from Speedway?
Ben, I did not get the mounts from Speedway. I bought them back in the 80's from Butch's Rod Shop in Dayton, Ohio. They are part of the "EX JUNK" that I salvaged from my '37 Chevy when I switched over to a Mustang II Front suspension. I also salvaged the axle and front spring that I cut in half for the quarter elliptic front springs that i am using.Jim: Did you make your own caliper brackets or did you get them from Speedway?
GAB i think he has the Ford not the chev spindles. Great CAd diagrams though!!!!!!!!!!383TBUCKET,
If you are looking to go the most economical route, make them yourself. Here is the info to do that:
The seal for use with this is a Chicago Rawhide 17415 and the bracket plate is 3/8" material.
Her is how it goes together.
And when you get done, you'll have a new appreciation for Speedway's pricing.Hope this helps.
Oooo, they look nice and "finished" as far as factory-look.
Rooster 57,
The info is for using with a early Ford spindle. Here is what the completed installation looks like:
very nice drawings!!
