FlashCadillac Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Whats the cheapest or best way to convert ford 4 stud to american ford 5 studs?
mossy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 erm.....i looked into this you can buy blank alloy hubs and have them drilled into the fitment you want... Give me 10mins and i will try to find who sells them..
mossy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Check that out mate...Direct replacement and fitment onto a ford, but in a 5stud. http://www.compbrake.co.uk/special%20ford%20hubs%20wheel.htm
FlashCadillac Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 thanks mate... will take a look
FlashCadillac Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 will they work front and back or just under disks?
mossy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 Wooooooo go me! found the blanks ones finally! http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/pr ... s_id=12810
FlashCadillac Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Posted July 15, 2007 lol they are a whole 50p cheaper than the ones allready drilled! but like i said... it says for escort/capri strut.... guess they wont work for the back?? what do i do about that?
mossy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 trying to remember what i was told now... something about using cortina 5stud bits... nightmares racing cortina uses american wheels...worth sending him a PM
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted July 15, 2007 Report Posted July 15, 2007 wont granada ones fit or p100 sure theyre 5 studs
john_3.0s Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 wont granada ones fit or p100 sure theyre 5 studs MK1/2 grannys are 5 stud indeed but the hubs are completly different front and back im afraid as the running gear is completly different with coil suspension all round - unlike the old cart springs and struts fitted to the escorts / capris etc Im not sure about the mkIV / V 'tina though as I have never owned one
bortaf Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 Cortina Mk3/4/5 you can fit granny uprights but that still leaves the back to be welded up and redrilled, P100 hubs are rover SD1 stud pattern On a cappa you could try the granny hub on the capri stub and weld and redrill the halfshaft flange but are granny 5 stud the same as US 5 stud?
Rick Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 id imagine its the halfshafts that yould struggle to get
