Going with D21 brakes/drop spindles-Best place to get spindles?

[southerncross]

Anybody have a good link to where I can get the drop spindles for a good price?  I've done some searching but was wondering if anyone has a good source already.

i thought you could only use drop spindles on a 78 and 79 with disc brakes.

I think so. If there were an easy way to put disc brakes on a king pin 620.... it would already be done.

15 inch rims are required for D-21 disc's.

I got mine off ebay a few years ago.  You will first have to convert to ball joint front end while going with drop spindles.  Search for 620 a arms here on ratsun.

I don't think there is an easy swap to ball joints either. '78 and up LCAs are longer? and mounted to the frame differently. They won't fit onto pre '78 frames.

 

If you want front disc brakes get BEEBANI's conversion kit. You supply the rotor and caliper

There is an easy way to put disc brakes on kingpin 620s, mikes kit, it uses the easy to find 85/86 720 vented rotors and calipers, and you can use your 14 inch stock rims as far as I know, I am using 521 rims on a 1986 720 frame with no issues, and he also has a spacer just in case.

He has 6 kits left as of this post.

I did the late 720 spindle swap with 14 inch rims and everything works.
