Re: disc conversion

The spindles have different tapers for the ball joints and tie rod ends. 63-70, 71-72, and 73-87 is the differences. Ball joints for all three tapers fit in stock 63-72 and 73-87 arms. Difference in arms is at the control arm bushings. Steel for 63-72, rubber for 73-87.

I’m using 73-87 ball joints in stock 63 control arms on my 63’s disc conversion
