RECENT PURCHASE 1963 ACADIAN BEAUMONT CONV WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE FRONT 14" BRAKE DRUMS 4 BOLT TO 14" 5 BOLT IS THIS POSSIBLE & WHAT WILL FIT ANY INFO ALSO WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE REAR TO POSI ANY SUGGESTIONS
I have a front 5 lug conversion here. I think it's pretty complete too. Are you in a hurry?
If not, transportation could possibly be arranged.
I think that rear in your car is the old style with the guts going in the front, no cover on the back. I would suggest finding a diff from a 5 bolt car, 67 or older and using that. Newer design, tougher and easier to find posi's and gears, etc...

I will go out tomorrow and check over the stuff. So if I was to split the upper ball joint and lower ball joint giving you the spindle, hub, drum etc off each side, that should do it, right?
Calgary is the right answer! I may be able to work out some hauling for you around Christmas time. There is a number of people that travel to and from this area to there at that time. I will ask around. I'm about 1/2 hour south of Winnipeg.
Back to you tomorrow after I check on this stuff. It's from a 65 Acadian. (No, I'm not parting out my SD car!!!) I will also PM you my phone number. Calling tonight won't work because my wife has the phone tied up for quite a while. Best to let me check out this stuff before you call anyway.
Thanks

Hmmm, changing to 5 bolt wheels eh? What about the other things you need? Lets see now A muncie 4 speed New hurst shifter and linkage new clutch, pressure plate and flywheel frame connectors bigger rad pulleys and brackets for a short water pump
Time to pull out the ole wallet there Milner and get the tools ready
Great. Hope to hear back from him in the next day or so but I am wondering if the farmers are still combining in southern Alberta. We are just finishing up in southern Manitoba.

Sorry, he did not get the set he had hoped for so I can't let these go. I do have another partial set that is just the spindles and hubs if that helps any. No brake stuff on them, one backing plate needs a minor repair.
