You're right - forget that one.

Why can't the original hubs be machined to take five studs? Then just get a set of cheap Spiders off PH or ebay.

There are plenty of brake upgrades available - from 283mm upwards.

AnthonyJ told how to do it a while ago IIRC, other suggestions were Jeep hubs I think?
But the factory spider kits were fantastic value all told ~ not sure if they would be that price now...

Did you put a ring behind & redrill Ant? I'm sure some time ago someone found the Ford source of 5 stud hub flanges to fit the hubs?

I weleded up, and re-drilled.
I also had a ring welded on to the circumference to aid with the PCD(FRONTS ONLY), mine have been on for 3 years now, no problems.
