57 Desoto disc spindles?

highpockets Posted 2019-08-26 6:00 PM (#586599) Subject: 57 Desoto disc spindles? Extreme Veteran Posts: 398 Location: Watertown South Dakota I have a 57 Desoto here with the front spindles missing. Instead of trying to find stock spindles, I would like to find later disc types. But, I have read about different height spindles changing the geometry. Are there any later ones that are bolt ons? mikes2nd Posted 2019-08-27 1:30 AM (#586617 - in reply to #586599) Subject: Re: 57 Desoto disc spindles? Expert 5K+ Posts: 5006 search on it, there are some that work, requires grinding some parts which i dont like. Spindles should be cheap from Big M. I think it changes the geometry a bit also. I would go stock with Scarebird or AAJ. highpockets Posted 2019-08-27 10:08 AM (#586631 - in reply to #586617) Subject: Re: 57 Desoto disc spindles? Extreme Veteran Posts: 398 Location: Watertown South Dakota Thanks, I have looked at the scarebird brackets and that seems like a good price if I put stock spindles back on. I was hoping to find replacement disc spindles that were correct in height. I will do some more research. Thanks for your reply. 57chizler Posted 2019-08-27 12:47 PM (#586644 - in reply to #586631) Subject: Re: 57 Desoto disc spindles?
