Re: 1979 C10 SWB Build - Off To Hawaii

Went to toss on my front drop today and ran into a spindle issue. I posted on the squarebody main section to see if anyone has ran into the same issue but want to document it here too.

Installing my 2.5" drop spindles for 1.25" rotors and almost had it all buttoned back up. Went to install my brake rotor and the bolts are resting on my rotor.

Has anyone else ran into this? I thought maybe the area holding the rotor in place was slightly off but I'm thinking the holes for the bracket are a bit too far in. Standard rotors, nothing aftermarket.

Reached out to the shop that made fabricated them and they are checking their brake rotor dimensions they used for this new batch of brackets to confirm. Was curious if anyone else has ran into this. Maybe I have something off?

Right now I'm standing by with the front end disassembled half in the garage.

I attached pictures as I'm hoping its something I did wrong vs a bad part that I will need to stand by to replace.

(Yes. I greased up everything as it should be before installing the rotor. That picture was right before)
