5 stud conversions
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 2:43 am
With the news that Gee was no longer making kits and he was getting rid of his business the idea was tossed around that we should make a similar kit. Now we have heard that Crossbred will be up and running again soon but under new ownership.
That is beside the point though, what I am getting around to saying is that we now have a kit that is made here in Qld and made a little differently to Gareths kits.
The first kit has been fitted to a Brumby locally and pics will be up soon. Final fitting and testing to make sure every thing is spot on will be done before they are released for sale.
Here is the interesting bit.
There will also be an option to buy just part of the kit for people that may be a bit tight on funds but are good with tools. The part I am talking about is the rear hub. Every thing else can be made/done by a lot of you BYB mechanics. Again pics of the hub will be up with in time. Doing it this way will basically halve the outlay needed to get a 5 stud conversion on to your car. We have toyed with the idea of also supplying a weld ring for the backing plate conversion. This is yet to be determined.
What we are wanting to know is who would be interested in a kit? Who would be interested in just the rear hub?
This is not an obligation to buy, just a way for us to decide how many kits we need to be looking at making and how many parts we need to be finding.
Final price is yet to be calculated.
