    1974 spindles on a ‘65. Can this be done?

    Dredging up an old thread… So I bought what were purported to be 70 or 71 Polara disc brake spindles. They bolted up fine and I bought rotors, bearings, and wheel seals for a 71 Polara. However, when putting the brakes on both sides it’s almost like the rotors (brand new Bendix units...
