Stuck during brake disc/drum swap. Again...sorry

[Pete]

You have to swap the spindles from side to side. At this point you have nothing to loose.

Will the lower ball joints swap over OK if he did that?

From the mopar action disc swap...I knew I'd seen something about this before...

As we mentioned, you will encounter swaybar-to-caliper interference if you install this setup on a pre-1970 B-body equipped with the link-type swaybar. Your alternatives here are an aftermarket swaybar setup (Addco, etc.) or to convert to the '70-'72 setup. This swap requires either using lower control arm/swaybar bracket assemblies from the '70-'72s, or torching the brackets off your original arms and rewelding them in the '70-'72 location (you'll still need the '70-'72 bar itself). In some cases, pre-'70 cars may not have the clearance notch required for the '70-up style bar, which passes through the K-member. To cure this, either swap to a '70-up K-member, use an aftermarket bar, or rework the K-member.

Yep.

Keep the ball joints on the correct sides of the car. Swap the spindles. Sort the brake pipes and hoses. Polish spanners. Job done.

Cheers for all this guys, I really appreciate it.

I'm going to swap the spindles from side to side and see how that works before I think about cutting and welding stuff.

I'll post pictures in my Workshop thread when it's done.

Dave - Who is Mr Benn re: braided hoses?

Thanks again.
