Spindle/ hub/ rotor 1970 GT 350
« on: May 12, 2015, 02:56:35 PM »
Hi there.

My first post on the forum.
I am restoring a 1970 GT 350 (0F02M481422).
I need some help to define what spindle/ hub/ rotor installed on my Car.
I have searched the forum but could not find the solution myself.
I have read the letter "Campaign # 668" regarding possible wrong hub/ rotors installed on the smaller spindle, but could not define anything from that either..

Numbers found on Spindle: C80A3107? (Could be a letter or sign at last. Not sure)
Rotor: inside: 20061, outside: 267 79
Hub:20054

Regards
Kurt Jonny

Kurt,the C80A spindle is the small suspension spindle (smaller tie rod ends)and corresponding smaller bearing rotor. If you car was built before the end of March 1969 then it is most likely correct. If it was built after it is most likely wrong and has been replaced. FYI the same criteria applies for F60 15 tires too unless your car is a Hertz in which case if got E70 15.I hope this helps.

Hi Bob.

Thank' s for the information :)
According to my Marti report it was scheduled for build March 04 (same info in build sheet), but actually build February 28.
Four says ahead of schedule.
Delivered with Goodyear tires (SIZE 735 14 BSW GOODYEAR 2 PLY COUGAR CONS (from buildsheet))

So the conclusion is, when ordering spare parts for my front end, i should stick to 1969 Mustang parts?
Am i correct here, Bob?
