12" Brake Conversion

[Brian Verson]

Will the spindles and brake calipers from an 95 / 96 Caprice Cop Car work.
What is going on with UB Machine Upper Control Arms. Does anybody have some drive time on these units. I would like to find out if they will hold up under normal everyday driving. I want to start the conversion ASAP before it gets really cold.

Thanks Brian

You have to watch out on spindles from the 94-96 B-bodies. They used 2 different spindles depending on what size the ball joint stud size is. The ones that will work for the 12" conversion are 9/16" and some of the later B-bodies used a smaller 5/8" which wont work unless you also change your ball joints(G-body and B-body ball joints are the same). Cant help you on the UB Machine question.
