69 Kadett 1.1

[Mahoney]

I am in the process of fixing my front brakes on my kadett and have been told that mustang II spindles will convert to disc brakes however i am not sure how easy it is to put those spindles on and would gladly take some suggestions and any other ideas for braking

[Mahoney]

That is what the car is looking like so far

It's the first time I've heard anything about Mustang spindles in the Opel-world. Where is this information coming from? Is it first-hand, or from a friend's neighbor's nephew? If they could indeed be made to fit, that would definitely be an option a lot of people would consider.
Keep us informed!
Welcome anyway!

Well the man i bought it from said that the mustang II spindles or a Chevy Vega would convert to disc but i never found out if fabrication was needed or how much it will take

[tomking]

well hasnt it been said the 1.9 front spindles can be fitted onto the 1.1? If so then they came with disc brakes so conversion is simplified.

[Mahoney]

thank i will check that out i was unaware of it

Do a search on this site as I believe it has been talked about here before.

Both statements are correct, they fit just fine and there must be more than one thread telling about.
When I heard "Mustang spindles" I was thinking BIG rotors, BIG brakes, 5-lug wheels and all the fine stuff that kinda comes with larger engine conversions.
