maxted Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey guys been trying to find some info on putting drop spindles in my b1500, I've got some discs off a b1600 i believe bolt up with changing lower balljoint to a later model one, just wondering if anyone has been through this? or if the drop spindles from later model couriers can be made to work ect? any info is much appreciated, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutiny Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 cant speak for b1500 but i did a disc conversion in my 77 b1600 to later b1600 discs and it was a bolt on conversion, think i had to use one of the late model ball joints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I did the same went drum to b2000 discs , then I had some b2000 stubs modified to flip the bottom balljoint. the stubs got the bottom taper milled out then a stepped bush with the new taper got pressed in. it sees the lower a arm sit flat and would remove catseyes with the x member. those stubs are shelved as the ute wouldn't get out the driveway on them. make an offer if you want them, I'm looking at ordering a water to air for the daily so any extra funds would be handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
