QCADTA Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Has anyone gone about this? What hubs would fit to change it from 4 x 108 to 5 x114.3? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Whats the point of going 5stud? Is it to match the hilux rear? Just restud front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Yeah and better wheel selection! Wont have to get any blank mags drilled etc. I see they have whole kits in oz but its for everything from the callipers right down to the disks and brake lines good quality but with a price to match.

Gaz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So the rear is already sorted. What front discs will you run? Safari 296mm? isnt to hard to mod to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 5 stud conversion Mk3 Zephyer disc brake hats bolt directly onto the cortina disc & hub changing it to 5x114 stud Caliper & disc upgrade Mk3 cortina twin pot calipers & discs also bolt directly to the mk1's struts etc {you can use both items Mk3 disc's & calipers with the Zephyer 5 stud hats like I did with my wagon} Cheers any questions PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 what random brand are they!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 dba disks, hopper calipers I guess Not so random. DBA = huge company yup. Pretty sure those discs are Holden. I had some I was going to use up front. They are the right offset with the hub etc to suit escort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 AFAIK Hopper use PBR calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCADTA Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 or these ones i found on e-bay could be alright. bit cheaper. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FORD-ESCORT-MK1-MK2-RS2000-BIG-BRAKES_W0QQitemZ140102879258QQcategoryZ29700QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 All those discs look to have a huge heavy hub. Look into safari discs for front. They are cheap, vented and large. All they need is a bit of machining to make an adaptor plate. Not to hard. They also have the advanatge of being 22mm thick which is the same width as the capri vented. This means you can run the AP calipers with the vented capri kit if you wish..... Or go willwood which is gonna cost. Or some kinda skyline or rx7 caliper.
