New bearings, splash guard, brake line hoses, pads, spindle...best to strip a donor car all at once.

Agreed, unless you want to spend a thousand dollars for an aftermarket setup, go to the junk yard and buy the entire front end brake system from a late 70's model Ford Granada or Mercury Monarch. Don't forget to get the dual master cylinder and distribution block along with all the hoses. You can have the donor spindle turned and buy new pads.
