How to upgrade SC control arms to '72
 

Hi Everyone,

I just purchased a set of SC Aluminum control arms to upgrade the current steel ones that I have on my 1972 T. I do understand that I am going to have to actually shave off a bit of the lower shock mounting point for Clarence of my heat exchangers.

My question is really about the bearings/hubs/brakes/etc. Can I just swap my rotors, hubs, brakes, etc. onto these SC control arms or?

Here is an article on the upgrade...

Thanks for your help,

Rodney not sure about the rotors, hubs and brakes since I used the items that came on the control arms. But I did do the removal of the non-threaded area.

Hi PJ, thanks for the pic. So, how did you remove the extra material?

Thanks,

Rodney

Rodney I had a friend that had milling machine that was able to mill to my specification. Still haven't put them on the car. But getting close. I think that's what I said last year. Ha. As you know all to well it's all a very slow process.

Ha! Yes I do know all too well. I wont' install mine for at least another year.

i have SC arms on my 72

Are your brakes and hubs the originals from your 72 or are they from an SC?
