1951 Ford F3 Rear Disk Conversion

​​​​​​​I have recently Been in contract with
TSM MFG Co about his front Bolt on disk conversion for my 1951 Ford F3

I also asked him if he had something for the Rears. He currently Doesn’t but is willing to work with me on making a set that will work
With our F3s and fix a problem that many of us encounter with these Widow Maker Tires .

I do need some help with some information he asked me. And I can’t get him the info without taking apart my Axle .

I’m currently using the standard Timken Axle on the early 1951 Ford F3


Please if any of the info required please reply thank you

I junked my Timken rear axle in favor of a Dana 60. So I can't get you measurements.
But I am interested in knowing what this guy said about a front disk conversion.

another trip to the garage and the large hole on the inside of the drum is 4 13/16

without bearings and races in i can't get the exact spacing from the axle mount to the wheel drum face but would guess its in the area of 3 5/8 give or take 1/4
