6 Lug on Camaro Clip

[Tchia65]

I did the "B" body spindle on my 1965 Malibu SS. The Ball joint is different, but all you need to do is get the right ball joint for the spindle and turn it down you match the Firebird A arm. I went with an aftermarket outer Tie rod, but I believe Speedway has an adapter to reduce the taper size. If you need any measurements let me know.

Oh sh%t now I'm commited to get this done seriously cheaper & easyer if I had the luxury of having access to these parts in a bone yard I could round a heap of bits & experiment but all we have here is Aussie,Jap, Euro & also Korean crap.

Thanks, there is a also a taper to fatten up the Camaro 6145BJ to the early B/body 6141Bj size.
What year Spindle did you use? & are those PBR calipers you have fitted?? They are made here, we have them by the truck loads.

That's the taper adapter I was talking about. I don't remember the year of the donor but I can look up the casting numbers if you want. Yes they are PBR's.

Ok guys, for the minority that maybe interested in keeping their Camaro clipped truck, 6 Lug all the way around here it is! I did cheat by not swaping spindles & rotors like I proposed in my OP but I did utilize some original components if any body can tell?


I basically used the original front drum hubs & seperated them from the brake drums. Machined the rear of the hub off flush, machined the center of the hub & the rotor snout so its a nice centered/slip fit. The rotor needs to be counter sunk to acommodate the stud bosses, drilled & tapped to take the high tensile 10mm counter sunk bolts that bolt the hub to the rotor. Bolt it together with plenty of loctite thread locker & there you have it 6 Lug Camaro rotors!
