    Got several model a axles laying around.
    What spindles and hydraulic brakes assemblies do I need to put one of these under the front of a hot rod?
    Spindles--Years--Makes---Models
    Brakes Also
    Dont care about bolt pattern as long as 5 bolt.

    What works best... what should a guy stay away from.
    Thanks in advance.
    If anyone has any parts for sale that will work PM Me.

    Model A Axle will take '39-'48 spindles backing plates and drums. Also F-1 48-52. These are the most often used. F-100 stuff can also be made to fit and '54 Chevy style stuff. You can also use model A spindles with adapters for juice brakes.


    Good Luck,

    Tim

    Will the 49-53 f1 spindles work on the model a axle? What's different about the spindles pre 48?

    Any difference in these spindles or will they work fine?

    What all should I rob off of it for a model A rod build
