Default Need front hubs

I finally got around to starting on my front disc brake swap and started down the instructions and realized that they reuse the old HUB but I have a 4 lug so I can't use mine....


Got any suggestions for a place to get this fairly quick without paying too much?

What are you working on? Are you reusing the spindles too? What swap kit are you using? Is your first name Al? Get it? Alfarkedup? Ha! I could not resist!

And what is with that pic? Those are the longest studs I have ever seen on a front hub.

Vintage Venom front disc swap: http://vintagevenom.com/fdk.htm The long studs are because of the spacer....

Basically in their instructions it says to reuse the old hub but mine is 4lug so I just need to find a decent place to buy them and get them to me this week.

It says you can use the brake components from SN95 Mustangs. You don't have an SN95. Send that kit back and get your money back, then order a full kit with all the parts you are going to need. That spacer hub looks just flat out dangerous to me. Trust me, you don't want 4 lugs on a disk brake swap. Read this, then email the owner to get one of the best deals on full swap kits available.

However, there is a way you can do it. I just dug up this MM How-To for disk brake conversion for the 6 bangers.

I've found where it says 64-66 hubs in a couple of places: http://www.metropartsmarket.com/cata...arts-c4s1.html can't find anything about a 68

Yeah, but that's just the hub. He needs the spindle. And, if you are wanting to go 5 lug anyway, why screw around with the 4 lug idea? Just contact Dennis, and do it right.
