Ford 5 stud disc brakes

[CrUZida]

oops thats right, my brother had to drill an extra hole for his mx73....

He actually had to drill 4 extra holes per disc, but who's counting...

[BigWorm]

Well, it was actually only 3 extra holes per disc, but anyway.

[PlacentaJuan]

im not counting, who cares about mx73's, the mx83 is da way of da FUTURE!!!

looks like the old pug/lux/rona conversion with ms65 hubs to me.

So from what I’m reading, I’m not going to be able to get 5 stud brakes on the front.

You can't do this either?

Well not really, Cuzzo sent me a link to that conversion but from what I saw it’s only for the 4 stud not 5 which is what I need to match up with the back.

S13 susp with S14 hubs. Or all S14 for that matter.

A bit of work, but quite doable (not sure about steering though given the non-rackandpinion-ness)

Yeah I kinda want to keep it all Toyota stuff, but if it works I can do it.

Options would be:
Change struts to something that will take the Crown hub.
Change struts to something that will take the S14 hub.
Try something novel - like Hiace,Hilux or Nissan 280C hubs.
Sleeve your KE30 stub axles to take one of the above hubs.
Custom hub.

You could also try doing some investigation of your own. Some Vernier calipers, a notepad and a day at the wreckers will get you a long way.

Sounds like a good idea to me thanks people for your help.

[Cuzzo]

Hey mate. With that conversion link i sent you, if you get a ms65 hub(its a type of crown i think) you can then get a 5-stud pattern. The only problem is that they are a little bit rare. You need to get the discs redrilled to suit the hub but once done, it is quite effective. I will be doing this when i get a hilux diff.

This is much easier than other 5-stud upgrades.

Heres another thread on it. If you read through all 20 something pages it will become clearer.

Nice, thanks dude you have been a big help

[gianttomato]

That's great, but they won't fit on your KE30 stub axles.

Try again.

What cuzzo is suggesting is based on the xt130 strut.
