Any place I can find the info on the B spindles? When I got my Holiday,it had a 403 in it,and in the trunk was the A arms and disc brake setup from the Firebird.The guy bought it that way,I never knew if it would fit,didn't have time.But it sounds interesting,since I have the parts. ---bil

Here you go, www.darklair.com/monte/12in-brake.html, please note in this info if you are going to convert a 64-65 F-85 you will need G-body tie rod ends, I got my from Rock Auto like most everything else for a 87 Buick Grand National, FYI Rock Auto has a close out on part number #5994 Raybestos 12 inch I-ROCZ 1Le rotors unreal at $23.79 each!!! Let me know how it goes.

Rob, trying something new on the brakes this weekend. Going to see how well 2002 Jimmy SLT twin piston calipers and spindles fit. I bolted a set on my old 10 second 86 T Type and they were a bolt on. The car went 10.20@132 four times in a 45 minute span and never saw brake fade or warpage. And I can get a set locally for $80 at U Pull-N-Pay

Yes let us know, because I believe a G-body is a whole different animal. I am only using G-body tie rod ends to put this all together with B-body spindles and calipers, F-body IROC-1LE 12 inch rotors, Hotchkis front suspension components, QA1 shocks etc.
