Default Re: 55 Customline Disc Advise

Some folks forget the lower ball joint hole needs to be reamed with a tapered reamer. Most roundy round race shops can do it for a few bucks. Then; with Granada spindles, the turn stop wont line up. I welded a six inch piece of 3/8 round stock inside the lower A arm stop, extending up. In the many years mine was driven before being sold, they never bent. Then, the rotor is also the hub on this design. The rotor has a huge amount of meat reaching out to the outer bearing. I hade a machine shop take off about 1/8 to fit the stock wheels. It was a wonderful swap. If you are going with aftermarket wheels now, change out the wheel studs for longer ones. It is so much easier on the bench. One last thing, I mocked mine up with no spring to check clearance and hose length. I used an 18 inch long hose, that lower A arm really goes down a long way with no load on it.
