Do the calipers bolt directly to the spindle, or are there adapter brackets? If it's a direct bolt-on, then yeah I'd suspect the spindle. [This message has been edited by Blacktree (edited 03-29-2013).]

Direct bolt on but this wheel bearing came from Arrat and they only sell the 13" kit now not the 12" kit that I am using so I don't know "what" changed over the years... There were other changes but those have been handled already.

Ok so apparently, Richard, when he welded up the new spindle didn't drill the holes out far enough away from center by about 5mm, so the rotor hat is off to the machine shop to get shaved down in diameter so it doesn't interfere with the caliper..because I ain't waiting another month. Should have the car back at the end of the week.

After lots grinding, adding washers and using spacers etc... It turns out that Rich at Arrat built a bad knuckle and it and the original damaged knuckle are being shipped back so he can build one to the spec of my "old" kit. At least he's back in the damn country...

What sucks is the clowns at the shop didn't bother making this comparison 5 months ago when the parts showed up...

Richard has excellent customer service and has bent over backwards to help me. I hope he gets you squared away. I am curious to see how your car performs.

He is taking the part back and is also getting (or should already have) the original part which got damaged during the collision with the Ford Lightning during the Labor Day weekend race. So he should be able to make an exact replacement this time. Problem was he was out of the country for a month or so...and the guys at the shop ASSUMED the parts were the same when they originally received them MONTHS ago.
No one wants this car back on all 4's more than me. I have a race in 30 days. WTF...!!!
