Mustang II with 5x5.5???

Are there any adaptor bearing kits etc that allow a 5.5 stud pattern hub/rotor to work on the Mustang II/pinto spindle??

I've got a complete Mustang II kit but would like to use my wheels that are 5.5" bolt circle. Any other thoughts??

(I can buy new wheels but thought I'd at least ask around first!!)

Thanks

Fatman Fabrication just came out with a kit for using the 5x5.5 bolt circle. I tried looking for it on their website but their site sucks, you gotta call them for more info. Let me know what you come up with, I too would like to use the larger pattern.

Thanks

Thanks guys!!

I see the Fatman site says "coming soon" but I didn't see anything on ECIs site (but it hasn't been updated since December '03). I'll try and call to find out the specifics..............

Its available....

Hey guys,

I did call Fatman and the kit IS available now - $520 for brackets, hubs/rotors with bearings and seals and calipers. Its a 12" rotor.

He didn't say, but I assume its an ECI kit so it may be available from other vendors or directly from ECI as well.

Thanks for the leads!!!!

i think eci also offered this kit in a bracket/hardware only kit. calipers and rotors should be easy enough to find.
