spindle differences

[Akromix]

What are the differences between 85 and 91 spindles? I ask because on this 85 the struts will not fit on the spindles. I believe Macs stangs car is a 91 or around there and I may need to find some spindles that'll work.

The four eyed cars came with 4 cylinder style brakes, even on the V8 cars. Aero cars were the first that had the 11" rotors on the front.

Can the old rotors and calipers be used on the 87+ spindles?

"The '87-'93 V8 spindle is THINNER (about ¼") where the strut bolts to it. The '87-'93 base (four cylinder) models' and all '79-'86 models' spindle is the same.

To use struts with wider mounting brackets (i.e.all '79-'86 models and '87-'93 base models), you need spacers to take up the gap on '87-'93 V8 spindles. Most replacement struts include the spacers. Saves having to make two different part numbers for '79-'93."

Yeah, vehicle has 85 spindles as it's an 85, the struts are used from a member with an 87+. So need to locate 87+ spindles.

You are correct, sir. The car is a '91. Didn't know there was a difference with the spindles. I would think Mark would want a brake upgrade anyways with his new power plant.

no they are at my place. Do you want the whole setup? rotors, spindles, calipers and such?

Yes that would be lovely.
