Yeah, as good as the brakes are on the sedan, I dismissed the axle change pretty much out of hand. Doesn't hurt at all that the special parts to be made were just something I am not prepared to live with for the next many years!!
Kinda the same with the axle conversion approach. Even if the parts all fit, I end up being "married" to parts that were none too plentiful in the first place... 35 years ago!!
I'm going to check with my local machine shop on redrilling the rear drums. The rear drums have a very beefy flange design that looks more than adequate for a redrill... Especially to a smaller pattern.
I sure like the wheels and the deal I can get is just terrrific!! 6 wheels for $100!
Thanks Guys
Mike
