[pink64]

hey guys, m currently doing a nine inch conversion for a customer and while i've got it at the shop i'm tubbing it for him, taking the wheel arches right back to the chassis rail(just cut them out yesterday actually) Just a question... any one got any suggestions for wheels, we'll have a shitload of choices because i'm, also raising the height of the arch cause we're gonna airbag it next... p.s. im in AUS and we have nothing for transits except custom made oneoffs.

If your doing a rear end swap DONT run the transit PCD, theres no of the shelf wheels around for them
better off changing to 114.3 and putting some decent brakes on the front

P.s theres nothing for transits anywhere its all a custom job

these are one of my favorites



what sort of width are you looking at

i'm leaving the rear end as f100 stud pattern, do u guys have any big brake setups over there? (for the front). was thinking of changing the front stud pattern to a more common falcon(our large family car) style as rims tyres and pretty much anything else are readily available. any info on aftermarket parts suppliers for transits would be awesome if there are any, if not guess i better start making my own stuff!!! p.s. m also afta clear taillights and indicators, anyone know any suppliers of them?

i'm converting a set of mk5 hubs at the moment to run 112 x 5 pcd

im writing a how too on it here http://fordtransit.org/converting-ford- ... s-you-want

which i'll finish when i finish the job, but it shows the start of it

they are a little more complecated than the mk1/2 - which is just a strait forward redrill

as far as brake upgrades the transit's pritty good from the off so the 278x24 disk is an easy option other than that its custom stuff

What a waste of time. You're going to put a heavy 9" rear end in a Transit, tub it, and have it powered by a Commodore V6?
Get your hand off your dick.

Its like teaching a pig to sing: It wastes your time, and annoys the pig.
