Ok here goes, I have worked out via 2nd gen Camaro forums that a common brake upgrade is running 12" spindles,Calipers & redrilled or (LE1 Rotors). Doner cars such as: Buick Full Size- Le Sabre Wagon / Electra Wagon 1977-1994; Cadillac Fleetwood and Deville 1977-1984 // Brougham and Fleetwood 1985-1994; Chevy Full Size 1977-1996 Caprice, Impala, Belair, Biscayne;
Olds Delta 88, Delta 88 Wagon and Olds 98 1977-1992; Pontiac Full Size Bonneville, Catalina, Grandville 1977-1986
This swap is made easy because bearings, ball joints & tie rods are interchangeable. Now if I was to go with the 72 to pre 77 Full size 12" spindles they actually use C10 rotors (A5 bearing 1.25") I could then use 6L rotors from CPP. Apart from a larger lower BJ (6141) "which I can get around" & tie rod end this type spindle should work??
My basic question is are the early spindles same as the 77 up apart from bearing size, lower BJ hole & tie rod hole? If I'm missing something please let me know? Cheers!

I have a contact at Timken that is willing to help research an "interchange" bearing for your existing 77 Camaro spindle. What I need to know is what is the original application of the 6 lug rotor you will be using so that we can figure out the bearing/race sets and corresponding dimensions.
