A lot of people are sending their rotors to Moserengineering and having them redrilled to 5-lug for $75.

I just purchased vega rotors and had them re-drilled for 5 lug.
all you have to do after this is match up the bearings. after I do this I will post bearing part numbers.
I have had 5 lug rotors on my luv since 1994 and the rotors have spacer plates with studs in it. I will be selling these soon because of the vega rotor swap.
pictures soon.

I've heard of people swapping mid 70's Monte Carlo spindles, rotors and calipers on but i dont know what it entails. The rotors looked huge. I asked the guy how it stops and he just started laughing.

2wd chevy 1/2ton stuff is 5lug and if your running 15" rims they should just fit and youll have alot better brakes up front. I dont know exactly how hard it is to swap in but everything is doable!

im having much trouble "matching numbers"
if I knew it would be this much trouble I wouldn't have messed with it.
I would have kept my 5 lug setup with the spacer.
ugh............. :?

I sent mine to Moser, but I still have my spacers, with rotors. They haves long studs and the rotors are in good shape.

I did not like them because the pushed the wheel out. They are about 3/4 thick, I had them done by a machine shop. They are 5 on 4 3/4 pattern.

I will sell them cheap. :wink:
