Question about spindles

[tony-muscle]

I want to replace my original spindles. They have damage created over the years around the outer bearing area probably by someone now knowing what they were doing. This damage is not allowing the bearing to seat completely leaving a bit of a play. Since I track and AutoX my car I prefer to get new spindles for safety. That said, there are a few options out there with very different pricing. 

NPD's are $283, which they just increased in price. https://www.npdlink.com/product/spindles-front-disc-brake/148561/200341?year=1971

Then, there are TCP's for $449. https://www.cachassisworks.com/p-1722-mustang-70-73-disc-brake-spindles-oem-style.aspx

After emailing with both companies I can't get enough information about the differences between these two. Any thoughts? Are there other options? What do TCP's have over NPD's to be $160+ more expensive?

I tried. They are not too good responding to emails unfortunately.

That is disappointing.  I know Mike starts and knocks off early.  Might try calling the shop between 6 or 7 am and 2 pm PST.  They should be responding to emails, but it does not surprise me that they are not.
