Has anyone ever successfully ran 4 lug balljoint rotors on Wright Place sindles?? I ordered bearings, but I don't think they are right for what I am thinking, and I cant seem to find a seal...

Screw it, I talked to McKenzie's because I heard they had a lot of knowledge of these older spindles, he pretty much told me that he didn't think it was possible to run the 4 lug rotors on them, which confirms me not being able to find bearings and seals to convert it over with... Plus I don't want to modify my rotors etc incase I break one in the woods and ruine my whole weekend. Soooo, hate to do it, but probably going to cut the spuds off and weld on balljoint spuds! :|

Jeff, are you having it done by a pro? I hope so because your putting your life on the line.

I can weld pretty damn good Steve, better than 90% of our mechanics at work :roll: ... Thanks for the concern though :mrgreen:

These are a Porsche stub, they can be converted to run kinpin hubs, but I can't find the correct bearings or seals to run the balljoint hubs. I will just burn in the ball joint spuds.

Jeff i run the spuds from the king kong combo spindles. You can get them from dans performance. I dont know if they have a bearing conversion to go with a 4 lug hub though. You can call dan or call tweed and ask them. I know the spuds I run are huge and will never bend.
