Sorry if this has been asked before but i need to know what will work and what wont.

i want dropped spindles but im worried wether it will work with my intended set up.

in my garage i have (ready to bolt on) a csp wide five disc brake set up, and i also have flat4 brm's

so who sells dropped spindles that will fit my 1970 dormy.

i want dropped spindles but im also going to put adjusters in cos i want it lower than 2 inches

what say you???

cheers

Personally I would go with the adjusters first and see how they work out, then you can see if the track increase (9mm per side) will be a problem.
 
do you mean 9mm per side if i fit spindles?

cheers for the wuick responce by the way :wink:

Thats correct, you may find that your BRMs rub with the wider track.

Correct me if im wrong but the CSP wide five disc kit reduces the track so the spindles and CSP kit will cancel each other out somewhat AFAIK.

NEW! Now available to suit classic bus owners that want to retain the original 14inch steel wheels (The 14inch kit can also be used with 15inch wheels).

Available to suit both standard and CB Performance dropped spindles.

from machine 7s site... i would check that the brake kit you have is to fit standard or dropped spindles before you buy, as it seems from this statement that there are two different types of brake kit?
 
i will check but im sure the only difference is for the 14" or 15" wheels,

my mate managed to get his older kit to fit the standard wheels, just had to shave a bit of the caliper with a grinder 8) i bought mine 2 or more again and the other kit came out just after, sods law aye.
