Converting Eaton H052/72 from 8 lugs to 5
Hey everybody,
This is my first restoration and I need a little guidance. In my infinite wisdom, I decided to wait until my vision got really bad before I started this project just to make it challenging. So here’s the deal. As mentioned above, I want to convert my Eaton H052/72 rear end from eight lugs to five lugs. The lowering kit I’m going to use in the front suspension only comes with five lug rotors. I don’t want five in the front and eight in the back. Nor do I want to use an adapter. That seems kind of Mickey Mouse to me. Rough stuff has a Disc Brake Conversions For the eaten and they’ll sell me a Ford 9 inch rotor and there 5-1/2 inch five lug forged hub, but I think it unlikely that they’ll bolt together slick as snot. I’m sure there’s going to be machining involved. In any event, Any guidance, information, suggestions, whatever, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Good luck on all your bills and happy trails. Regards, Jeff, a.k.a. Blind Guy. |
