hey all,

doing a type one beam conversion on a '68 fasty. I need to run king and link pin spindles and being a later model, it has the disc brakes at the front. Does anyone know if I can mate the two together or would I have to source some new brakes? Dont really want to spend extra money unless I really had to.

Anyone done the conversion taht could help me?

thanks

link pin disc brake t1 spindles will use your rotors/calipers with the appropriate bearings. the disc link spindles use the same stub as ball joint disc...

Awesome, so the appropriate bearings would be whatevers correct for my T3?

no you use bearings for baljoint type1. i think i told them '71 ghia at the parts counter. it's been several years so hard to remember...
