Can some one give me some info on how to convert front spindles to 5 lug?
thanks

best bet is to contact a good local machine shop and see if they will redrill your hubs to whatever pattern you want it and then if they'll install the studs.

check out http://www.luvrestoration.com

they have a 5 lug conversion.

hey guys thanks alot for your help

at the moment i have a stock pair of rotors coming and i was wondering if they had enough meat to redrill to 5 lug. i have this s-15 rear end sitting here and i don't feel like having two spares.

i know just about anything can be done for the right price, but would they be safe?

Well, I did the Search thing here so not to add to multiple listings...

I looked into changing over the stock LUV rotors from 6 to 5 lug and the local Machine shop who does most around this area that came recommended said he wouldn't touch those rotors anymore.
He states after many successful attempts to do the change, that the Rotors eventually cracked!
I now have a link to a place that may be able to rectify this.
I will keep you posted on what I find out!

update: I found a local shop that may be able to help me.
I spoke with the owner and he wants me to bring the truck over and go over the spindle/rotor thing. They do many changeovers so I may be in luck!

thats probably the easiest way to do it... have your stocks redrilled. but wait till you get them back. the way its done is really cheezy. they drill right thru the bolts that hold your hub to the rotor. I was surprised when i got mine back from Moser way back. I couldnt believe that passes for a good job. If you have the money I'd REALLY consider the Aerospace kit its about 650 ish. but will give you superior stopping power over the stock LUV disk brakes.

Check out my website.
I did it a few years ago, then sold them to someone on the board.
I have part numbers, and pictures.
you will still need a machine shop to drill the rotors.

here is a direct link http://home.comcast.net/~skyedivr/luvvega.htm

Are Vege and Monza rotors interchangable? Monza rotors are already drilled for 5 x 4 3/4 smallchevy pattern.
