good deal?

[mossbergman]

i might buy this and use the axle and the knuckles with redrilled hubs to make an assembly built to the mustang bolt pattern specs for a fast bolt on hubswap. Opinions?

BTW i asked if he would part it out and he said no

You'll end up with a lot of junk. If all you want to buy is the pumpkin, you can get it cheaper.

 

[mossbergman]

I don't want the pumpkin. I already have a built rear. I just want the parts it takes to make a bolt on hubswap

 

[Sapperfire]

What about the front wheels?

What about the front wheels?

I can find some mustang hubs for cheap somewhere. For brakes I would have the discs redrilled as well. I'm just trying to keep the costs and down time to a minimum.

 

[mikeskustomfab]

150 for hubs is kinda high might hit up a salvage yard and mustang hubs for the front new are like 35 bucks each

 

[mossbergman]

150 is for the whole IRS, including the pumpkin

 

[mikeskustomfab]

yeah but all you want is the hubs correct?

The 93' I got my DS from has a broken knuckle unfortunately

Otherwise it woulda been a real score

I'm thinking I should txt him and see what the ECU in that thing is?

 

[mossbergman]

what i want is 2 of those axel/knuckle/brake disc assemblys on the floor in the pic, but with 5x4.5 hubs and brakes. then i can swap those in by just undoing the 3 knuckle bolts and swapping the brakes. for the rears at least

Exactly what I wanted to do.

I would jump on it, rebuild the whole thing.
Do what your thinking plus get in touch with Doug and put bushing in it.
Buy it.

 

[mikeskustomfab]

ahh ok then no its not too bad of a deal at all

oh yeah. and when your done rebuilding, subframe swap and your done. i like that idea.

question
on mark/mustang front hubs, is the bearing an integral part of the hub or is it just a chunk metal?

 

[chris2523]

the bearing and hub is one unit.

 

[mossbergman]

ok thanks thats what i needed to know. i think ill buy new mustang hubs so ill have good bearings for sure

 

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

front hub bearing

just my two cents dont skimp on the front hubs.Make sure they have good bearings.
