I have been searching over the www and could not find exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps you guys can confirm it.

I have a bare tube axle w/o sprindles yet. I have a set of mustang II calipers and rotors. I am wondering if I can buy any type of spindles that would adapt them onto the tube axle.
