Front beam whats the diff?

[sweat69]

What is the difference in a 1968 to 1970 then the latter beam i have been told they are difference size? any body got any idea :?: :shock: :wink: :?

 

[slammedkustom]

bolt pattern is different where it bolts to the chassis.
trailing arms are different internally too
68/69 beams always fetch a premium compared to 70 upwards

My bay was reg in 21/11/1969 it had wide 5 brums alround but the owner changed it two latter style disc , could he have done this and kept the 68-69 beam? or Is it a latter beam altogather? I want to go back to wide 5 stud pattern but have disc at front, Which disc set up is best for me?
Any help would be great. :lol:

the balljoints are the same meaning the spindles are interchangable
you will still have the 68/69 beam but the spindles are either 72 only or 73 up.
if you want wide five disc id go with CSP, not the cheapest but a great piece of kit

So if i have the latter 73> on spindel i will have to change it to a early one yes? im going for the csp 1 as im 10miles away from creative eng :lol:

the 68,69 beams fit splittys,which is another reason there so pricey,i also think the beam is narower as the chassis on a 68 is narower(i could be wrong on this)

i think they do the wide 5 disc on 73 up spindles, give creative a buzz and they can give you a definate answer and price.
you may need to speak to dave tho :wink:
