1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX

Passenger side suspension and front brakes put together. Still need to tighten things to spec, but torsion bar is in, front brakes fitted up. As usual, ran into a few little issues. Had to take a file to the spindle, it had a raised edge on the back surface that would not let the caliper bracket fit flat. Getting the t-bar in and indexed properly was a bear. I still need to knock the bar in the final 1/2", but everything is in now.

Also ran into an issue with the wheel. The wheel does not clear the hub. I would have to run about 1/8" of a spacer, or 3mm, or I would have to have the inside bore on the wheel machined at least 0.080" deeper to clear the nose of the hub. It would not sit down tight on the brake rotor! For the moment, since it will be in the garage for a while still, I put a cheap 8mm AutoZone spacer I had in my tool box behind the wheel.

Wow... that was too much work for what it was. Working on the garage floor is not pleasant.
