72 10 Drop Spindle Question

Does anyone know if Belltech #3120 (71-72 c10)Drop Spindles are made for 1.25" or 1" rotors? Also, has anyone tried using the Belltech #3100 (73-87 C10) drop spindles on a 72 setup? What all needs to change to make it work?

Thanks,

Re: 72 10 Drop Spindle Question

I think the belltech 3120 is for 1" rotor. I would call them to make sure though. The 3100 would work for you and they are for 1.25 rotor. You would have to change your upper and lower balljoints to 73-87. The 3100 is $259.00 on summit. The cheaper way to go is get the DJM DS2045H-3 which are also for 1.25 rotors. They are $229.00 on summit. Little bit of savings... I ordered mine yesterday.

73-87 spindles come in light duty (1inch) and heavy duty (1.25 inch). You can find both for sale, you just gotta know which one you're buying.
