I've been researching this a little. It looks like the aftermarket C5 upgrade brackets might work on the light duty spindles. That is, if the dust shield/backing plates interchange between big car/light truck, then a bracket may already exist to adapt the 'Vette stuff.

More to come when I get some time...
Ahhhh . . .... Not a bad idea. Get ride of the problem rotor & keep the spindles w/the appropriate bearing dimensions.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
