Title: 5 Luggin a Early Pinto
Post by: FCANON on February 22, 2004, 10:10:52 AM
Hey guys been a Long time since i been on the Pinto site I had to reregister.

Any information about getting the early front ends to a 5 lug other than WillWood.
Has anyone meashured the differences and thought out a mod to get the later modle to fit?
And what would be a good source for NEW rotors? Maybe I could buy them blank and have them Drilled.

That website is great if you own a 74 and up model pinto but the 73 and down fornt susention is different.
I wished I could hang the front over to later model control arms and spindles. it would make things simple.

 Please stop by the FAQ section from time to time. I am doing a Granada/Wilwood 5 lug conversion to my 73.

 Not sure what the post was saying. BUT, the 71-73 cars dont have the aftermarket kits that work properly.
