You can use the '77 spindles and it will work just fine and all will bolt

You will need to replace the pedal assy. or attach a peice of metal that 
will hold the brake light switch that you will have to install. The 16v 
Master does not have extra holes for the brake light switches.

I got mine done for 300$ in canvas. Get a new one and have it done with
