Install Rotors for Solid Axle Swap
« on: Mar 11, 2013, 12:14:36 PM »
I tried to install new rotors on my solid front axle. It has older style hubs, all round. New rotor has 8 holes, while original has 6 to mount to hub. How do others do this, get different hubs for FJ40 rotors. Or drill new holes on FJ40 rotors to make it mount on older hubs?
