    I need the dimensions of a 1949-1954 chevrolet car spindle. Going to cut disc brake caliper brackets. Anyone have these measurements?

    i have found that this type of kit will not work on a straight axle but does work on a dropped axle.
    i tried to fit this on my straight axle and i found that the caliper puck area would hit the axle and shorten the turning radius. i believe since the caliper is bolted at the 3:00 o'clock position it wouldn't work. i tried it on a 4" dropped axle and the caliper puck would go into the drop area alright for maximum radius. i think for a straight axle the caliper needs to at the 12:00 o'clock position. anybody else have this problem?

    The OP has a passenger car IFS.

    I believe that if you tweak the steering arms, this kit will work.
