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.

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:

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
