I have a spindle that takes the larger outer bearing but my rotor I want to use is for the smaller size outer bearing. Does someone make a bearing and race so I can use what I have?
Thanks!!!!!

check in your phone book for local bearing
dist. & if you have one take both bearings
to the guy & he might can fix you up.
Use to do this quite a bit.

a good NAPA store can do this tooQuote:

might wanna double check that jeff, i am 99% sure that 78 was the odd year and 79-88 was the same... i know i have used spindles from 79 and 81 and they were the same as all the newer ones, just looked on speedway and the rotor they sell is 79-88, the years you gave were 78-81, that is the years of the smaller bearing camaro spindle ?
i also know for sure from personal experience that there are 2 rotors that have the same inner and two different outers, and they both fit the same years of spindle, the only difference is the outer bearing od and race
(and rotor)
i agree there are two sizes, 1978 and everything else, as far as camaro the early had larger bearings and the later years switched to smaller, i believe the same was true on the metric outer bearing, the smaller bearing was on 84 or 85+ and the earlier rotors took the larger outer bearing
wasnt really trying to use speedway as a reference, i just googled what i had already thought to be true thru my personal bearing chasing experiences and that came right up corroborating exactly what i remembered.... highly doubt that its a total coincidence
