Go easy on the newbie gents. Found a 5 lug 8 inch and a rear disc conversion locally ... Can't find any any front disc donors ... Car currently has four lug drums ... I also have five lug hubs and drums ... will this work well/safely? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories
I think for the money you would spend collecting all of the parts, you could find a 75-80 Granada or 75-77 Maverick with disc brakes to rob the setup off of and reman calipers are relatively cheap. Some companies offer the entire Maverick/Granada kit for reasonable prices. Just do a search. On the other hand, I don't see why that bracket wouldn't work other than it's only a 10" rotor. The 75 up Mav/Granada rotor is 11"
I think the rotor he's designed the bracket for is a toyota 5 lug pattern which is the same as our 5 lug. If you found a rotor with the right offset and lug pattern, it might work.
the car i bought is a 4 lug car but the previous owner included 5 lug drum brake hubs and drums and to everyone who answered, thanks ... I pm'd a member on here and will hopefully be getting a disc front setup.
Scarebird brackets I just bought a set for my 72 Grabber with 4 lugs. I think you use the Nissan Stanas 4 lug rotor and Chev Caliver calipers, 79 Cad Eldo hoses. That is the combination I used on my 63 Ranchero 4 lug. I'll check the fitment of the brackets next weekend. Will keep yall up dated. Rick
I would think that going with the Granada 5 lug set up will be best in the long run. Ford parts will always be available. Nissan Stanza has been out of production for years and obscure Toyota stuff goes away fast as there is no enthusiast following for either cars.
