Re: McGaughys 63156 Front Disc Brake Kit work with Belltech spindles?

They will work fine.
They work with 1.25" rotors.

The "oddball" C10 drop spindle is the Belltech 3200.
This is the 73-87 Light Duty spindle for 1" rotors.
The McGaughy's kit won't work with the 3200 spindle.

Have you priced thise parts locally.
Seems like that kit is just normal 5-lug rotors and D52 calipers, hoses and bearing.
Might be a good price.
But is it good stuff or China made parts?
I don't know.

Thanks, Keith. I haven't priced each item separately from a local parts house but plan to. Any recommendations? Not looking for anything super fancy but definitely an upgrade from what i have now, which is rusty and unsafe.

I'm not a fan of drilled or slotted rotors since they rust if they don't have an expensive coating on them.
Anymore I would just use a stock smooth QUALITY rotor, bearings and hoses, with a set of Wilwoods D52 calipers.
They come in red or black.

I also like Wilwoods Aluminum M/C over any other brand.
