Combo Spindles
« on: April 27, 2012, 08:52:50 PM »
Another question I couldn't find an answer to.  Are combo spindles interchangeable with a certain year make and model of car?  I am hoping to find a front brake set up economically.  Thanks

I dont think you'll find from a car.  I've seen a few for sale starting at $600, hubs bearing, brakes, and calipers.  Check glamis dunes.com, seen a few for sale on there used.  I made offer, guess it wasn't enough.

I think what you are asking is! Can you use and automotive type of hub with combo spindles. Right? If that is what you are asking the answer is NO.  A combo spindle is set up to use a sealed ball bearing where as a normal automotive hub is set up to use a tapered bearing with a race pressed into the hub.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

I'm running timken tapered with combo spindles.  Spindle mount wheels.  I'm thinking the "combo" came from a combo of crap.  Inner bearing from one, outter race from something else.  But I did tons of searching and had no luck on some off the shelf stuff.

Ya, I was trying to find a set of brakes that didn't come from the Sand Rail shop.  Seems like we pay a premium at the Sand Rail shops.

Does anyone know where one can get front brake kit/hubs that can fit on the combo spindle and have a 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern?  Thanks

So with combo spindles and front brakes there is no choice but to run 5x205mm bolt pattern?  I keep hoping I can find something.  The price of the rims is what kills me.

Ya, that might be possible but I was thinking that would make the front even wider.

I haven't really looked into it but can't the 5 on 205 be redrilled to 5 on 4.5?

I was hoping that might be an option as well.  Can someone measure their hubs?
