I have the old wide 5 drums on my buggy now and Im wanting to keep that bolt pattern. What are some good rotors at a decent price? I plan on using some 88 nova calipers or something like that and cutting and welding some brackets up. any advice would help before I start to shell out the money. |

I run a Ford Crown Victoria rotor with a machined down 4 lug drum for a drive plate. I use the GM metric caliper with a generic weld on bracket from Speedway, Summit, or Jegs. I ran and adaptor when I had wide 5 VW rims. |

Nice Buggy!! Thats kinda what I plan on doing for the brakets my buddy is going to school to be a machinest so Im gonna have him make the brackets at school. I was looking appletree at 5 lug rotors and in there catalog it says you need a spacer but it doesnt show the spacer. Theres a set of 5 lugs on there that are 1in wider so thats what I wanna do if I can, Im just not sure if I can just buy the rotors and take off the drums and slide them on haha |
