THUNDERBIRD FRONT DISC ROTORS

[black duck]

Greetings
just wondering if anyone has fitted 1988 thunderbird disc rotors to holden stubs?
they measure up the same diameter and are 14 mm shorter in the hub. what bearings are used ? or do they need re sleeving
i know that they are only 4 stud and have to be re drilled. any info? cheers black duck

Nope - never heard of that one , sounds interesting though ... whats wrong with P76 hubs ? The kit is readily available and they are 16mm narrower with a 5 x 41/2" PCD

thanks blacky. i looked into it a bit more and found out that the thunderbird ones are only 4mm narrower than the p76
(not worth $*#@ around with) cheers black duck

I love watching the common sense factor in use , A problem that needs solving and a new pusuit in gaining the solution.

I bet when you guys finish that build we all will have learned a thing or two

Yeah there is , Thats what takes the world forward .

I saw a guy researching a cure for cancer and he tried putting salt water through radio waves and it actualy ignites ,didnt cure cancer but he built an engine that runs on salt water .

Id be wrapped if anyone found easier solutions to building old Holdens.

they can't get any easier, if a dope like me can pull em apart and put em back togeather it's gotta be pretty simple

Hey i'm all for using other parts but for one they be available easily, 2 they need to fit with a minimum of modification and 3 be last in line after easier and cheaper alternatives. T/birds were never sold here so trying to use a part thats not available, has the wrong bearing size, wrong wheel stud pattern is just crazy. And i'm no purist - my FC has a buick V6, toyota 5spd, torana steering, commodore diff, commodore discs, BMW wheels plus whatever else i can use to finish my car.
