I am looking for information about rear axles and stud pcd
JLH restoration do a front disc kit with a ford pcd and so I wonder how do I get the same pcd for the back as I hope this will give me a better selection of wheel design
Can I hang a MK II escort axle from the minor leaf springs or is there a ford pcd halfshaft kit /adapt or for the minors axle
Apologies if this is an old question but I am just trying to find direction to head
Many thanks msbmm

I am not aware of any hub conversion kits that allows the Minor rear axle hub with the 4" PCD to be adapted/modified so as to give the same PCD as per the Ford front axle hub.

You can hang a Ford axle on the rear of a Minor using spring adapter brackets and a suitable propshaft.

You can also get wobble nuts and adapter plates (Ford PCD / BMC PCD) but I personally would not use them.

If it was up to me I would use the ESM grumpy's Marina disc brake kit (which I have on my Minor but is original Grumpy's and is good value for money) and that has the Minor 4" PCD. Job done 8)
