Default Another 4 to 5 lug problem

I have a 86 Coupe that is in transition for a 5 lug swap

Yes, use Ranger rotors. they are 5447 from auto zone 83-88 ranger rotors but they didnt fit the diameter or the bearings or the bearing depth

Have a set 5449 rotors for a mark 7 or svo. still not working.

My spindles are 4.3" total length from spindle face to end
the rear bearing id will be 1.375"
the outer bearing is .865" id
the depth of the original rotor is .25" from rotor back facing to seal shoulder
they are 11" 1.05" thick
the rotor is stamped with KPM c/n 8126 they are cross drilled 4 lug.

Looking for just swapping rotors. Ill swap to sn95s if I have too.
any help is welcomed
thanks

Never heard of using ranger parts for the front only the 94/95 mustang hubs/rotors. I used complete spindles/hubs/rotors/calipers from a new edge.

I run 4cyl spindles on mine with cross drilled ranger rotors,and just used Mustang bearings. No problems here. Only thing I had to do is grind down the pads as they touch the rotor just a tad but thats it.

Thats why the ranger rotors arent fitting,you have V8 spindles. I thought the Mark8 and or SVO rotors were a direct bolt on though?

I have a set of 4cyl spindles left over from my conversion. Not sure what shipping would cost though.

I used 94/95 spindles/hubs/rotors/and calipers on my 4cyl, and had on problems. It cost me $150 from the local junk yard for everything, and they pulled it all. All I had to do was pick it up. Everything worked out great. The nice thing about using the 94/95 parts is you are upgrading the front brakes as well.
