Spindle mods for 12" C4

I hate to clog up the boards with already posted information but for the life of me, I can't find the answer to my question and I've been searching for an hour now. I know it's been gone over, so appologies to the moderators but I can't find it so....

Can someone detail the spindle modification necessary to complete my 12" C4 upgrade. I have modified my stock hubs by removing the rotor surface with a lathe. I have installed the longer studs. I have purchased rebuild C4 Corvette front calipers and carriers. I have purchased new C4 12" rear rotors (1988). I need to purchase a set of custom caliper mounts from Ed Miller. I need to purchase the proper wheel bearings, seals and brake lines. I know there is some spindle modification necessary but what is it?

Thanks!!

You do the 1LE mods to your spindles. Cut off the original caliper mount ears and the drill and tap the dust shield mounting holes for the bolts for Ed's mounting brackets.
