GM disc brake conversion

Post by Bobby65 »

I have heard you can use spindles from a GM G body from the mid eighties on a corvair front suspension for a disc brake conversion, i know you have to do some modification to the spindle to get it to work, i was wondering if anybody has done this and could let me know all the ins and outs

Did this to my LM. Check out this topic and there is pictures of stock top ball joint with spindle machined at top ball joint to fit corvair.
The lower I found it easier to install the factory ball joint for the spindle Ur using and modify the corvair a arm to take that viewtopic.php?f=52&t=7122
