I remember reading here or on one of the other forums, about upgrading the front brakes on a G-body .



I was about keeping your current spindles, and machining down an old brake rotor to adapt/fit a Covette rotor over it, or something like that.



It was also required to cut something off the spindles to fit a bracket for the correct caliper to mount



Sounds familar? I think there was a link to a thread on it.



TIA
