5 Stud conversion

[rollin]

Does anyone know if it is possible and how to convert the rear of a new 5 stud cruiser back to the old 6 stud pattern

Easy. get the parts off an 80 or late 75
only issue i know of is you have to drill the hub studs out to suit the larger ones on the 5 stud axles

Are you sure its that easy. If so do you no of any places that sell the parts ready to go. Cheers

there are many ways to skin the cat....to keep it all std, use 80 series diff centre, axles (and axle seals) and hubs/discs- all bolt in...or make one off mods to hub or axle or both (and hope it stays together) or u can put 80 series side gears in a 105 arb locker and run the 80 axles with 105 centre...or u can simply drill the 100 hub to 6 stud and machine the centre circle of the rim to the 105 size....everything in the diff is diff-erent...spline count, pcd of hub studs, axle diameter, ring gear fastening method, studs, wheel bearings....the 100 is stronger oh, forgot to mention ratio is also different
