Mk 1/2 Escort hubs

[Rob1600Minor]

Hello all my zetec conversion is taking shape nicely now and starting to think about brakes again and one thought that i recently thought about was can i fit escort hubs to minor uprights? i am guessing not as lots of people would be but worth asking the question i thought. The reason i have not gone down the marina route to save money is i need the wheels to be ford to go with the rear axle.

You can have the exiting hubs converted to alter the spacing of the wheel studs so they will take a ford wheel but it isn't something you can do yourself unless you can be VV accurate with drilling. I am sure the usual suppliers could help you and Jonathan would be the one to tell you if you can use escort hubs on minor uprights.

Hi im currently putting an escort mk 2 axle on my mog and for the front im going to get this http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/pro ... 69dd1a77ed it says its ford so it should be the same as your rear

hope this helps!

i do not think they are the ford stud pattern.. i think the ford means they are ford brake parts as opposed to marina brake parts.

I would have thought they would be able to convert / make them in the ford stud pattern for you.

there not ford pattern thats what ive got and there isnt enought metal to have them drilled out to ford stud, ive tryed i think jhl do a disk brake conversion but with ford stud

[rossrox]

a tad more pricey though

paying for quality, mine didnt come with spacers so i had to grind the calipers down to get the wheel to go round
