I am starting my '71 project, and decided to start with the brakes.
I found the front ones are worn out to the limit I was wondering how involved is it to go to 5 lugs on the four corners. |

QUOTE(67rafa @ Sep 25 2008, 01:15 AM)  I am starting my '71 project, and decided to start with the brakes. I found the front ones are worn out to the limit I was wondering how involved is it to go to 5 lugs on the four corners. The answer would certainly depend upon what the car will be when done. CSOB way is to drill out the rotors and hubs, press in new studs and bam...you are five lug now. Next up is bolt on spacer/4-5 lug convertors. Alot of people dont like these and dont think they are safe. Porsche used them on the 356 with some M7 studs to hold the convertor onto the rotor...those are damn small studs, but those cars were fine. From that point forward, you are spending more money and buying all new strust, calipers, rotors etc etc. The answer is really dependant upon how you will use the car, how much stopping power you will need, motor, etc. Rich |
