Catalina spindles
 
Looking for front spindles for my 66 Catalina wagon. I think spindles from 65 or 66 will fit? Thanks

Correct. 67-68 are the same except lower steering arm holes are 1/2" instead of 7/16".

So a guy could use 67/68 spindles with a little modification? I can’t think of the correct name, but basically you’d drill out the hole to a 1/2” on the steering bar that spindle bolts to?

And correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't found anywhere that makes an aftermarket reproduction of them?

those are almost in zero demand - no repops.

There's a '67 Delta 88 four door sedan in an East El Paso yard. Drum Car. I have no idea if there is any interchange here. The olds used a "speedo" cable deal, used on the left front backing plate, that may be proprietary to Olds.

Completely different animal. Not till 1971 did the spindles interchange for full size.

I should have s set from either a 66 or 67. How can I tell?

Here they are.

Please contact thru text or phone. Much easier and more timely from my end.

Those are 69-72 "A" disc - won't work with full size.

Thanks for the info! Now I know what they are. Greatly appreciated.
