5 on 4 3/4" brake rotors

I'm looking to get rid of the adaptors on my mustang2 front clip, is there a set of brake rotors that have 5 on 4 3/4" lug pattern from another vehicle that will fit in place of the ford 5 on 5" rotors? Thanks

I found these, says they replace the stock ones. You will also need the larger calipers and bracket unless you already have the 11" rotors.

Many thanks they do indeed look like what I need. I called a retailer yesterday & explained it all to him, he said he'd get back to me but didn't say when! I'm hopeing tomorrow or I'll call him back. If no luck then I'll get these shipped to Texas then on to me. Thanks

Re: 5 on 4 3/4" brake rotors

You can also buy just the forged brackets from one of several vendors if you already have the right calipers or want to get them locally. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-FORGED-STE...f938c8&vxp=mtr I have a set and they are much better than the welded up steel ones a lot of shops sell for the same price or more.


On the 11 inch rotors, in the past a lot of guys had the Ford (usually Grenada) rotors redrilled at a machine shop which isn't inexpensive or used 71/72 Chevelle/Monte Carlo rotors which while they can be made to fit require modifications to the nut on the spindle.

I see a couple of vendors that offer the rotors with bearings an one that offers them drilled and slotted with bearings and free shipping. Speedway aslo sells them in several different packages from bare rotors http://www.speedwaymotors.com/11-Inc...per,70598.html To complete kits that include caliper brackets, calipers brake pads and rotors and wheel bearings.

That ebay item looks like exactly what you need. $100 USD the pair is cheap, but I doubt they were thinking about the UK when they mentioned free shipping.
