C5 Brakes, spindles...
On my 69' I'm doing a frame-off restoration... It's a custom project with front and rear Sharkbite coilovers & c.arms.
I bought C5 Z06 brake calipers and I'm thinking about a method to fit them without making custom brackets.
Any idea? Could any aftermarket spindles do the job? Something like AFX C5 spindles?!?

The AFX C5 spindles are designed to fit the Camaro/Nova, Chevelle or G-body front suspensions. All are quite a bit different from the C3. Also they are almost $900 plus you have to use C5 wheel bearings/hubs.
Why not make brackets???

Custom brackets could be a less expensive solution, but I'd like the idea of lightweight aluminum hubs!
