Here's an example of what not to do. This guy came to me and said his wheels didnt fit right on his car and he has a vibration at higher speeds. He also said he did his own 5-lug conversion.
For those of you who dont have the right tools to do this dont do it. Also use quality parts too. The carnage is below. |

QUOTE(Brad Roberts @ Aug 29 2004, 01:01 PM) This is why I get BIG money for the early rear hubs with the raised bosses for 5 lug. It has both patterns cast into it. I stopped counting how many conversion cars have loose rear studs because of the thin material. B I figure I can sell my rear hubs and oil tank and get enuff to retire.....plan A. Plan B is work till I die...... |
