Front caliper clearance and bleed

[jeremiahnz]

I know you have put a lot of work into making it happen with the stock hub & spindle, but I'm hoping I can achieve the same with a replacement spindle.

Yep could be the go. Will be keen to hear where you get with it.

If I have time this weekend, I will take the whole setup off and take it to a wheel shop to see if there is anything that can fit over it. I had always planned on running spacers so didn't think I'd have an issue. I may still be able to get some 27mm spacers to fit, with modification to the hub, but it is a path I would rather avoid as it could mean modifications to the spindle etc. as well.

Do you have any good pics of the hub/spindle setup from the back and front without the rotor on?

Quick google brought up this thing which the americans call a 91 hardbody which seems to have the mounting points the right way (going off memory);

They use these drop spindles which I believe are generic



I like the fact they have the easy caliper mount (not sure what to suit, but gives you something to work with.

More dribble, this is a hardbody (which I think is d21 pathfinder in australia) spindle directly fitted to a datsun 620 ute



So find a suitable hub and we may be winning at life.

Only the later 620's had the top arm with a ball joint, rather than the antiquated king pin set up.
Those drop spindles are very reasonably priced too.
