thats good nuff for me ade! scimiter with powerloc and snazzy disc conversion for me too then

someone told me the scimiter has a real odd wheel pcd, is this correct? other thing i was thinking, on your 5.7, have you got 2 different wheel pcd's between front and rear?

decisions, decisions! front hubs would be easier to swap to match rear rather than vise versa i guess?

The pcd is 4x114.3 on the scimmiter axle, heres a link to the page i found with cars that have the same pcd . Ignore the little bit off writing on the left hand side

The firenza is running 5 stud jag on the back and 4 stud vauxhall on the front .
I will probably redrill the scimmiter axle to vauxhall fitting when i fit it

so the scimiter is effectively 4.5" pcd and the jag is 4.75", interesting to know!

i'll probabley end up using banded steely's anyway

Just get the rear hubs drilled to the PCD you require, you can then choose whether you re-stud them or use wheel bolts

So choose the steel rims you want to get banded and go for that PCD

You can get studs & bolts from http://www.graystonengineering.com

Your welcome if you need products from Grayston and they wont deal with you direct, let me know as im a Grayston dealer

Also just another quick point on banded steels, make sure you choose some that have a large enough hubcentric for the Scimitar axle, as it will be difficult/unfeasable to bore out the center of steel rims.

pmsl, ade, the salisbury solid axle doesn't look easy either (now ive got one)

the lower trailing arms look a doddle, just copy the fren brackets and weld to the beam, but what about the top arms? they attach to the top of the diff housing originally!!!
