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...
