Just ordered a set of aerospace brakes for the dart. They want to know the inner and outer bearing numbers as well as the grease seal number. How the heck do I find these? It's a 68 sedan with drums.

Did you have nine or ten inch drums (V8 cars had 10")? I wouldn't use the nine inch spindles for any kind of brake as they are quite weak.

Its a slant six, so I'm sure they're nine inch drums. Talked to aerospace and they said the spindle would be plenty strong, now i'm wondering?

That's the weakest spindle out there for an a-body. I wouldn't run them with a /6, I don't care what any aftermarket parts supplier said. I'll see if I can get some pics of the differences in the spindles.

would 10" drum spindles be better?

They would be much better. Like I said, I'll see if I can pull some spindles out for pics and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks Jim, I looked for late model spindles in all the yards around here and found nothing, probably taken by all the dirt trackers. Maybe I'll have better luck with 10" drum spindles. Aerospace only lists a kit for the 9" drum, guess I'll call to see if they can do the 10".

Jim is right .Those spindles look like pencils. The races spin at the first sign of heat.
Those kits must be aimed at limited use setups.
