The question wasn't if you were nuts or not... you are "here" so that part is self explanitory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)
Perhaps we can open it up again though. The question was; if you imported the caliper "and" the rotor from one spindle to the next, would they fit? We have only two rotors to offer today and I would imagine if there is a mid-term rotor it was the later without the centering ring. I suspected that, if the caliper migrated over with the rotor to the various spindles (early or late), it would work (not sure what the ball joints have to do with the caliper offset but...). I just never had a pair of early struts and late struts in house to compare. Maybe someone can help. Will a 1970 caliper and rotor fit on a 1975 strut -- and vise-versa? The only reason I can see they wouldn't is the mounting ears may also play a part in the offset beyond that of what the caliper and rotor play. Calipers and rotors are of obvious differences. |

OK, I thought it was a different question. Take early strut and put on late stuff.... I may have some fronts to do this...I have the struts. I recall doing this the other way around abd the early cliper and rotor dont work/dont fit on the later strut. Lemme see. Rich |
