Got up early in the morning today to get the front rotors change on my 68 Notch. When it was time for the brake pads I found out that one piston of my left caliper was froze (no wonder the car was going to the right when I hit the brakes!) I did not waste any time a head to the junk yard for a search,we have a junk yard that have about 7 T3s (sorry I bring that up) In a 95 degrees heat I manage to get the caliper and a spindle from a 69 SB. (I broke the bolts on the spindle on my car turning it the wrong way...both of them..DOH!!) Exhausted and about to faint I manage to get back to my car. Got the spindle in without any problems. When it was time to install the rotor I found out that the inner wheel bearings did not fit, it was too small, the outer fit good. So I went to my FLAPS and got an inner bearing for a 69 SB and ...viola! Got everything mounted and went for a test drive. Brakes are good now! :) The bolts for the calipers, ball joint, etc. are the same. The only difference is the inner wheel bearing. My question: Having a 68 spindle on the left and a 69 spindle on the right, How that affects handling and braking on the long run?
