You happen to notice the calipers don't fit as nice on the spindle as original? My 71 wasn't quite flush like before. I did a little sanding since this pic, but it's still not a perfect fit like original.

That's a common issue w/aftermarket spindles so not any one specific brand. A little filing does the trick.

I see. I only sanded a little off, perhaps I should have taken more, because they're not flush. It's my understanding that's for aesthetics only, so long as the caliper bolts insert as intended and the discs are square. Or so I hope
