hen's teeth and Mk2 discs

[Worzel]

G'day
Early Transits are the same stud pattern as CFL's
Pre 1984 Transits are solid disc and while useable are not really a performance item.
Post 1984 Transits are a different stud pattern. I found out the hard way by buying a set of rims on ebay and driving to Sydney to pick them up. Waste of time and money.

Just does my head in, , but simpler after a while
DBA makes vented and slotted vented rotors for transits
all the single wheel diff transits from 73 to 86 can fit dba 127
(125 series,V21, V22, V24, V33 and V51 single rear wheel).
all the dual wheel diff transits from 73 to 86 can fit dba 126
(125 series,V21, V22, V24, V33 and V51 dual rear wheel).
The only difference is that the 127 is 13.2mm thick and the 126 is 22.6mm thick
So it must be post '86 that changes stud pattern? and for a beddy i want the 126 right?
Cant find the PCD listed, but there aren't any other transits.......  (famous last words)

I'll have to buy one, and take it to the wreckers to check the studs (43 degrees today, 43 degrees tomorrow, and a chilly 35 on saturday). unless someone can confirm compatability

Then have it machined to suit bearings, fit bedford studs to have matching wheel nuts, source adaptor plate( -hmmmmmm), and buy volve calipers (there's only one model right? )

Sounds too easy

Has anybody done this? save me the grief

Hahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahaha

They are all 5 stud, NO LISTINGS for 6 stud transit rotors,
Might have to do a visual inspection, not being familiar with transits and all

G'day

Transits have at least 4 different stud patterns that I have seen.
Single wheel Transits had a large 5 stud, small 5 stud the same as Falcon, or 6 stud the same as the dual wheel Transit.
I am not a Transit expert by any means but as far as I know Transit discs were:
Single wheel 6 stud solid disc
Single wheel small 5 stud ventilated disc
Dual wheel 6 stud solid disc
Dual wheel 6 stud ventilated disc
These are the ones I have seen and all had Falcon 6 cylinders motors in them.
V4 motor ones were drum brake front ends.

  if it was easy every LWB would have em'
DBA have listings for , apparently , 12 different models but only two rotors,
i think i'll quietly give up on the idea of a dualie with disc brakes and one spare tire

....don't give in to 'em, worzal....don't let them buggers beat ya.....( he say's, sneaking back to his F350 stubs and hubs bent)

single wheels.. single wheels.. so easy.. so easy..

[photol]

....Hey Ben,if singles are so easy, why you sayin' it twice ? and any way reality IS  duality

[Marishka]

Dual are good for big load carrieing, plus if u get a rear flat there,s still 1 tyre on back taking the load wont swerve as bad ,
but i got singles on back of my LWB a few owners ago put the 350 chev, turbo 400 and chev 12bolt diff in it. holden disks holden studpattern front n back

Marty,

Do you have disc brakes FRONT and BACK on your LWB?

Jock

[ben]

Do you have disc brakes FRONT and BACK on your LWB?

just front jock.. rear is chev drums!! massive they are!! need 15" rims 14"'s wont fit over the drums..


um because they are so easy!!!!!!!

grab a holden salsbury 10 bolt limited slip disk brake.. (got ofered one the other day for $240)

get some deep dish rims and big fats..

modify the mounting points on the diff.

throw on the wheels and off you go bobs ya uncle!!!

i picked up some dragway 15 x 10 which would be perfect for that for 200 off ebay.. then tyres maybe 4 or 500..

so you get out of it for about a grand.. and you could sell your old diff for about 200..
and you end up with wiked wheels!!!!

other way you still end up with not so good looking wheels..
