Got some questions on front brakes. The catalogs list both thru 1972 and post 1972 parts for rotors, pads, calipers and the ball joint. I assume the spindle forging is also different at the 72/73 change. Is this true?

Can later calipers be put on an early car and if so, what needs to be changed?

i have an early car, and found the brake calipers i want to use do not fit, they rub on the rotor. The calipers are from a1974 car.

What can be done with mix and match front brakes?


I also have some adjustable front shocks, can they be installed on my early spindle? (they are currently on a late spindle)

Are the adjustable front shocks a huge advantage over the non-adjustable?


thanks
