Thats weird!! yea... how did they get THAT on? I have spindles both early and late, if you cant find one closer to you. Find out what kind of spindle your running on the other side, with this car I suppose anything is possible. Some cars got their beams changed due to rust or damage and are running the wrong brakes for that year.
