jr, if you need parts for the Park Brakes let me know, I have a SS kit that I won't be using (pads and parts necessary to assemble them on the TA).

put the spindles in the lathe and indicated in on the outside bearing fit then checked run out on several different places and got pretty much the same thing on both spindles, .003 total run out. Same on the splines. Im not sure what is allowable.
