front 5 lug conversion
hey everyone i was wondering what is the "best" way to do the 5 lug spindle swap? Im leaning towards the 2 left side ranger axles for the rear. but i dont know what to do for the front... 94/95 mustang spindles sound ok but i heard that the driver side brake hose wont fit onto my fox brake lines

RE: front 5 lug conversion
I used '94 spindles.
The brake line works fine on the driver's side but the passenger side needs a $7 adapter from Maximum Motorsports to work. Napa might even have a fitting that will work.
Not a big deal and I didnt change brake lines. I did have a little trouble getting the lines off the old caliper hoses but thats nothing a set of vise grips couldnt handle. The fitting kept rounding with even a tubing wrench.
Youll need some spacers from www.breezeautomotive.com for the balljoints (spacers go under the nut). Theyre less than $6 for both shipped. You could also use washers.
