This seems like a good idea because its cheaper and does what I need and the wheels I want come in 4lug... Also I can just keep the Pony rims on till summer comes along and all so the cost can be spread out...<br />Or..... Drop the 1300 and just do a 5 lug conversion.. Get the same wheels but have to drop the money for them at the same time... <br />Not really interested in doing the whole junk yard treasure hunt for parts so just throwing that out there to keep that Recommendation to a minimum.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,0,22,19,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I put 4 lug rear disc brakes with 3.55 gears on the rear of my `91 convertible with a complete $90 junkyard rearend...new pads for $40 and turned the rotors for $20, 94 mustang master cylinder for $90 new from napa, maximum motorsports 3-2 disc brake line conversion kit for $35 and done. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CHP2981</b> <br /><small>Member # 9240</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,0,22,22,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Wow you got alot of ideas going on i just answered you 1220 question. But anyway i did the 4 lug disc thing not to long ago. I bought the Cobra 4 lug rotors and calipers from Kragen and the North racecar brackets and E brake cables from Northracecar. I was out a little more than 500 then i had Jon, at Duncan Motorsports do the install for a couple more, i don't like to mess with brakes as i live on a hill and i learned my lesson with my 64 rollin down the driveway luckily i had big rubber blocks in place. I can add the proportioning valve and the 3 to 2 block also the Cobra master and booster later but i hear the booster is a bitch to put in. Hope i helped.<br /> <br /> <small>[ January 22, 2010, 10:47 PM: Message edited by: CHP2981 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blubyu87gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 9427</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2010,0,22,23,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Haha yeah I am on orders for the Army right now and my Civilian job pays me full wage while on said orders so I am double dipping.
