|
I'm wondering what my options are with a link pin front end and wanting to run a Chevy or Ford Pattern. The front drums don't look like they will work with adapters to do what I'm trying to do?
Is there a special adapter or way to do what I'm bring to do up front?
Thanks! |

And that puts it out far enough over the bearing carrier to mount the wheels flush? |

With a Link Pin axle.. you are very limited due to center shape of the drum.
No conversion drums made
Convert to disc or adapters..
