Dropping '53 Fords & Mercs

    I have a 53 Sunliner as well as a 53 Merc Tudor Sedan and want to lower each one at least 2 in. and add disc brakes. I was told Granada/Monarch spindles and brakes can be made to fit by reaming the stock A-arms. Does anyone know if this is true and if so where can a reamer be found. I anticipate having to replace the spindles w/ drop items and may cut the springs to get the total drop I'm looking for. Thanks

    my friend just threw a set of versailles spindles on his 56 and they fit without reaming
    most machinists have a full set of reamers if you have to go that way---bob
