Hi all,
I am working on a 66 San Jose Mustang K-code, front disc brakes. I went to replace the rotors, same early style. The drive side went on find. No issue with installing the cotter pin. However, on the passenger side, I was unable to install the cotter pin. The outboard side of the rotor stuck out further and the nut and keeper were too proud to get the pin in. The two rotors are identical. I am starting to wonder if the passengers side spindle was replaced with a 67 version, not allowing the installation of the rotor. Are there difference in the 66 and 67 spindles? The bearing were the same part number on both sides. The only variable I can't verify is spindles. Is there something I can measure to tell a 66 from a 67? If you have picture showing the differences, that would be great.
Also, are the V8 spindles for drum and disc brake the same spindle with in each year? I see spindles advertised as drum, but IIRC, they are also the same for disc brakes.
Thank you
Cory
