Flynbye Front C5 conversion bracket question

[melman109]

Does anyone know what modifications need to be made to the factory spindle for this swap?

you have to cut the ears of the spindle that currently are used to hold the stock caliper on the spindle, and you have to have 2 of the dust shield bolt holes enlarged to iirc a 3/8 bolt and have the hole re-threaded to accept a bolt.

MEl what kind of spindles are you going to get?? What is better to get..the blazer or s10 spindles. I've been trying to do my hw on this stuff but i'm still not sure. Thanks for any help guys

I'm going to do the swap using my factory spindles up front, i'll post up some pics and vids once I start that project. Working on wiring now :?

98 or newer blazer/jimmy spindles the ones that have the dual piston calipers and not 4x4! the issue with using our stock or any s10 spindle is the hub, u either need a custom one or you hv to get the stock rotor machined down, the newer blazer set up, you dont (because it has the hub with the studs and separate rotor), you would just mod it as someone else stated...

also with the stock/s10 spindle you also need longer studs, i believe

at least thats what ive heard
