Take more time with spelling and punctuation? Maybe your e-mail isn't being received because you mis-spelled the e-mail address.

Disc brakes were an option on 70 Pontiac Catalinas. Why go aftermarket?

I would use original parts too. I would get the spindles, caliper brackets, rotors, proportioning valve, and lines to the proportioning valve all used. Then I would buy calipers, pads, rubber lines and master cylinder new. Should be basically a bolt on job.

Well you’re going to need to source those from a parts car. Just get the pads, calipers, rubber brake hoses and master cylinder from a parts house like Napa. You’ll need the spindles, rotors, caliper brackets and proportioning valve off of a parts car. You might post a want add in the forum for those used parts.

You should be able to buy the spindles from Summit.

Scarebird 05-08-2020 12:03 AM
They do not list those. As stated, very low demand - best to contact one of the big yards, like French Lake in MN and get a OEM spindle.

Where did you find the rotors? They haven't been available after market for a long time. You might want to contact Frank:
