I believe you are looking for
C8OA-3107-C
C8OA-3108-C
for left and right
Do you need some?

If it is a disc brake car they will be C8**,as its a new spindle for the new single piston calipers.Drum brakes would probably still use the C7.------------------

Probably a J-code car should have disc brakes.

I took another look at mine, and you're right, its C8OA, not C8OE as I orignally posted. I'm not sure why both mine have a "C" on the end and one of yours has an "A". These are engineering numbers, not inventory part numbers. Could be they are interchangeable.

WHITENIGHT 289oops, typo on my end
both of mine do end in C
C8OA-3108C
C8OA-3107C DO these match with yours? Are these correct for a 68 mustang J-code (factory disc.?) Thanks.

How many boltholes are there for the backing plate? I guess you just have some bare spindles, right?------------------

3 holes for backing plate
I've run them on the street with no backing plates.
I have the two hard parts, the spindles and the caliper brackets. rotors, calipers, bearings are usually available locally.
