Ya those are Jmanz69 here in Michigan

Yep, those are mine. I offered them on the board a couple times with no bites. Problem with offering them here is timing. If you offer and no ones is looking, they don't sell. I got tired of tripping over them. I also have a set of spindles up too. Both are only going for $10 right now.

I bought those arms for my 69, then bought a whole new frame. Never had them apart or anything. Just been laying around the garage for a while. I put the one arm in the electrolysis tank to remove some crud and it came out really nice. Never got around to doing the other one though.

One more question. Does anyone know if I can use EC's disc conversion spindle with the 71-72 arms? I'm assuming I can, but will need to install 68 style ball joints. Is this correct? Thanks.

I don't know about ec spindles but I know our Western spindles are a direct bolt in with no ball joint or tierod changes, are year specific and have correct stops built in for correct turning radius with a lifetime warranty. I also know we have swapped their coil for our Eibach progressive coils and made a lot of customers very happy. WESTERN, EIBACH, MOOG, WAGNER. It only costs a few cents more to do it right the first time.

The reason I asked is because I already have the EC spindles on my 68. However, I need new control arms because the guy I bought it from tack welded the lower ball joints in.
