Drum to Disc, Changed Track Width
So Eons ago when I changed from Stock Drums to Disc Brakes on the front of my 70 I recall it widening my track width. It was at least 30 years ago I used ECE 2 1/2 drop spindles to change over to disc.
On to present day; I just put a set of 20’s on with 245/45 on the front for more side wall. I had to bring the front up 1/4 “ (easy to do with coil overs) so not to rub the outside of the tire. Now I see CPP makes a spindle that’s supposed to bring the track width back to the original drum brake spec or some where near depending on who you talk to. I even got two different answers from CPP, LOL. Anyway I have a set of theses spindles that I’m going to install as soon as I get the caliper brackets. This should give me all the tire clearance I need. I’ll keep you posted as I go along in the next couple weeks If anybody else has already done this Please let me know how it turned out for you. Apparently it’s different for different years and now that I have all QA1 Control arms who knows ???????? Going to give it a shot
