I have an older Barry Wright and am needing some spares. Barry doesnt make spindles for my year car anymore (02) so I need some help

The RF spindle is 9 1/2 tall, and a 5 1/2 steering arm. Not sure of the pin angle.
the LF is 10 1/2 tall with the same steering arm.

The brake Caliper is 3.5 and is mounted on the back of the spindle.

Are there any cars with this same setup? Something that will cross over?


Any help is appreciated!

Try a manufacturer of spindles...TWM...Southwest Speed ...they will make you spindles

I will call TWM tomorrow, but is there any websites with spindle dimensions? I was hoping a blue rocket would fit.

The pin angle will be a critical measurement and should not be left to a beginner.

If you can't find anyone to do it where you are, you can send them to me, I measure spindles for $50 ea. to have them re-made or matched to existing parts. You will get exact heights, King Pin Inclination & steering arm lengths.

I have all the parts and fixtures and jigs to build them along with A-Arms but it is cheaper and easier to order them. Once we have this information we can order you replacements or have them built if they are non-stock.
