Whats the Diffrence between the 2 Spindles? 
The bearings that come with the Wilwood Kit seemed to fit. 

If I remember correctly the issues were bearing size and the pad thickness for the spindle. If the pad is too thick it places the caliper stand too far inboard. AMC used two size bearings. The smaller size in the early cars and larger size in later cars. I don't remember the cut off in years. There also was two or three pad sizes. I have to apologize that I don't remember the details. I used a set of spindles that were originally from a drum set up instead of the KH spindles. They were a dead bolt up. The think the pads were too think on the Bendix spindles I had. You could also shave the pads down to the proper thickness if you had the right equipment. I will have to go back and dig through my old posts to see if I can find more accurate information. This was all discussed once before.
