nunyabinness Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) yes you can use a-arm spindles on j-arms the ball-joints are all the same. if you need a set of j-arm brakes let me know, i have 2 good sets in my garage. or if you need a-arm spindles let me know i think i have a good set out there too. if you want the j-arm brakes i would be willing to work out some kind of trade. and yes the spindles are different. the caliper mounting brackets are closer together on the j-arm set. this is one thing i do know for sure.
