  1. Thank you to everyone that has replied thus far. I spoke to my mechanic today, he is looking to add a spacer to keep the bearing from moving down the spindle that extra 1/8". We wanted to give Wilwood a chance to see if they could help with another idea, but evidently not. As was pointed out, there has to be some kind of variance in my spindle from what Wilwood tested on, it's exactly the same 1/8" off on both sides. I will post when we get it set, I thought figuring out the master cylinder was going to be the difficult part as well. We shall see, I really appreciate the insights here. Mike M
  2. Hello, I am undergoing the above conversion, using Wilwood kit 140-12321. My mechanic has found that the Outer Cone Bearing (#9 in the diagram) is "in" 1/8" too far on the spindle, so he can't tighten it down. Wilwood hasn't been able to come up with any relevant help yet, other than suggesting my spindles may not be original. In the picture below, the cast part number looks to be 317616. I have two questions: 1. Has anyone had this issue, and what was your solution? 2. Does 317616 sound like an OEM number for a Model 51? I have the shop manual, but I don't have that part number listed. I've owned this car for almost 30 years, and my grandfather for 20, so I'm really interested to see if I can resolve this. This is my first posting, thanks in advance for any help! Mike M, BCA 23348
