Tim,
If you rotate the 5x114.3 about 15deg either way it would improve clearence some...

Daza: no it won't, I played around in Autocad with the 5X114 pattern (I can spin it around the hub on the fly) and that is the furthest you can get the new pattern from the other bolt holes.

Seagull: I wasn't worried so much about the 1 hole that's close to a 4x140 hole, I was worried about the 2 holes that are too close to the disc mounts! Can't weld them up!

Now I know asking for you to post pictures is futile (we've tried that before) but if you could email pictures of your hubs to someone on these forums that would be great. I'd like to see this executed in a non-dodgy way as I have a spare set of Ford rims myself that would look bomb on the wagon.

If anyone wants the DWG file email me, although if you're half decent in Autocad it won't take a minute to whip them up yourself (spent more time in Paint colouring it in)

Two posts in two days... looks like I'm not lurking anymore.

Just whipped this one up quickly:

I want to be proven wrong on this one guys, but it doesn't look likely.

The only thing is to machine the insert for the jig for the L series hub as I think it whent in the bin .

my life after work so go easy on me for some time

I making a super charger belt drive this week for a mate of a mate , rebuilding a stroker vw motor that did not pick the oil up ( complete rebuild ) , rebuilding my road bike motor ( its to slow , so had some head work done made a 316 ss muffler package for it ) , fixing my air con , putting the liberty back together

man the list go on .

I have my sand dragster to fit a wrx motor in to , and a new gear box clutch pack to make up for the auto

unless I can find a front wheel liberty auto I willmake the adapter plate for the auto I am running .finish the car trailer so I can get the kit back here so I can weld , fab , fit the new donk .Then strip the motor send it off for machining & put it back in after the frame has been sand blasted & powder coated . wire it all up , run the motor in , then go and cain it & see what I can brake on it .

& this is after my full time 8>5 job 5 days a week

Sorry my friend, My mrs would kill me if I had that many "me" projects, outside of work.

I was assuming you were one of the learnered young adults on this forum, who dedicate their entire lives to the Subaru God....

No insults intended

I cant talk, I am only doing my first major Subi conversion now, after owning one since 1993
