Title: Would it be feasible
Post by: Beau on February 25, 2006, 02:55:54 AM
to make a hub for different front brakes for our cars?
I mean, if somebody had the equipment, couldn't they (within reason)
machine some sorta hub to fit a stock 86-88 Bird/Cougar spindle, while allowing the use of....say a '99 or so rotor, one that's not integral to the hub?
Or would be easier to go about the process-as-normal, and do it yourself?
Just an idea I had...

It would cost you more in materials and machine work than a set of SN-95 spindles would cost you..

I got my spindles yesterday from a junkyard for $100 off of a 95 that was wrecked in the back.

if you seriously wanted hubs in four lug you COULD get some sn-95 parts and have them redrilled in the four lug pattern... which i thought about at one point in time. whether it is worth it or not is entirely up to you.
