    You'd be better off turning the OD down on the spindle rather than drilling the hub and rotor. I think Matt Conley had his redrilled at Sunray, I don't know what he paid but I know it wasn't 10 bucks.

    you do know that ford spindles are shorter and 5 bolt instead of 6, right? outside axle shafts won't work.


    buy the correct bearing, measure the ID and have vilas turn the spindles down

    the ford spindles are 1/4 inch longer. i'm going to assume that is a big deal. is it or can i make it work
