In the process of getting the 61 f500 going again.Got my widowmaker(rh5) problem solved. Now for the other widow maker. Have any of you converted your single resevior brake master to a dual resevior and made a split system?Thanks

FDS75 ten stud

Re FDS75 ten stud front hubs - can you tell me if it is hydraulic brakes and what size? We could be interested in buying the whole front end or just the hub section to convert ours if it is for sale but I do not need the diff centre. Our ratio is 6.83.
Thanks,
Scruffy.
