Default Juice brakes

I started putting some 1953 F100 brakes on my 31 A , I did a ton of research on this before starting the job , I bought the ring adapters to center the backing plates on the model a spindles , filled in the bolt holes , put the centering rings in, marked just 2 holes to get it going and drilled them 3/8 , now the problem, the drilled holes run in to the the ring I'm using to center everything , The model a bolt pattern is just to small for the 53 backing plates , there is no way under the sun they are going to work , so I broke down and ordered the 37 / 48 spindles today , what I want to know now is what does everyone use for the steering arms ? I still have the original steering , so I have to fit the steering link to the new spindle plus the tie rod end , advise needed please , pictures would be a great help and part #'s I'm just not savvy enough to send a picture showing what I got .
