Default F-Body Front Disc Upgrade on 71 Monte with Front Disc Spindle

I have been searching here and other swap sites and I want to make sure I order the correct stuff for my swap. I have some front rotor/calipers from a 2000 firebird that I want to put on my 1971 Monte Carlo that already has factory front discs.

Do I still need to get the hub turned?

Can I just use these BRP brackets or something similar?

Gove BRP a call. They used to list kits for both disk and drums.

IIRC the disk kit required some grinding to tbe spindle or was it and extra spacer.

I believe you need to look up conversions for "gm tall spindle" or "gm short spindle" cars. Worst case, call them. They are very helpful.
