    Spindles on 69 mustang

    Are 69 drum spindles the same for 6 and 8 cylinder cars?
    Have a coworker asking about products for disc brakes.
    I know hubs have to change if he wants to go with 5 lugs.
    He mentioned he has an adapter that converts from 4 to 5 lugs now.
    I forgot to ask what diameter wheels, as for which kit(s).

    I not know, butt... I've never seen any 6 cyl singles for sale or mentioned,  so...

    Until MS replies, Chockostang is pretty spot on with info, ya may want to call him to confirm. This shot from his site kinda sorta leads you to the answer.

    Re: Spindles on 69 mustang

    I ran across something similar on CJPP too.

    I talked with coworker yesterday and he doesn’t recall tire diameter, just that they’re made by Cragar.
    From his description, sounds like 15” or 14”...guessing 15” on a ‘69.
    He wants to get newer tires and wheels anyway.

    Thanks Bob!

    All drum brake Mustang spindles from 1967-69 are identical.  Some six cylinder cars even had five lug wheels. 

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Bob, if you hit you head again perhaps you’ll forget that you forget.🤣

    As been mentioned same spindles for 6 or 8 cylinder. The easy way do do a disc brake swap is to use a kit for 65-67 Mustang as they used the drum spindle with a cast bracket to mount the calipers. The calipers are very good 4 piston. Superior to the 68-73 single piston.

    Yes some 6 cylinder cars had 5 lug. Those would have the 250 I6. Everything is V8 on them. They used the 8" rear axle, the 250 has the same bellhousing bolt pattern as the SBF. Same with the transmissions, V8 spec.

    I'm not a complete idiot.....pieces are missing. Tom

    Thanks Tom.

    My experience is with 65-66.
    Great learning opportunity for me when restrictions are lifted here.
