These kits are disigned to use the factory B-Body spindle only.
If your wish to purchase new spindles Summit Racing has them. But...
1. You must order the Correct Spindles! The spindle on the left is a G-body part. Despite the fine print that you can use a stock Caprice rotor it does not matter to TCE as we are not selling you stock Caprice rotors. Your purchase must match that of the hubs and bearings TCE supplies. Which vary in the late '70s to later '80s.
2. The correct Summit Racing spindles use Set 3 and Set 6 wheel bearings. They will work with both 5" as well as 4.75" wheel stud partterns. But..! You must notify TCE of your using these items so we can be sure you receive the proper parts. A standard early Caprice uses sets 3 & 5 which will not work on these spindles.
3. Spindle diamter: If you do not know wha you have then you must Mic the diamter of the spindle (the snout) at the larger spot where the inner bearing rides. All the outer or smaller bearings are the same: Set 3 = .750" . The largr diamter porition changes and is critical to you order: Set 5 is 1.375" and Set 6 is 1.250"
4. TCE is not replacing free of charge incorrectly ordered hubs and bearings. The parts listed per kit as shown above and that's what we will ship UNLESS you notify us via email that you need a different combination.
