8 to 6 lug conversion hubs, 14FF

Or just redrill the pattern and put the rotor on the front of the hub without blocks on the back.

ahh pictures? SHCS's = ?

Well there's that too, I guess it will depends what hat depth rotor you pick.

SHCSs = socket head caps screws.

Makes rotor changes much easier, no pressing studs. And the rotors require little modification to fit.

If you put the rotor behind the hub do you redrill an 8lug rotor? Or turn the center out of a 6 lug hub?

The issue I see more is the amount of knurl on the stud and the amount of material holding that knurl. Spinning a stud would suck.

Slipping the rotor on the front is easy but you could use a 6 lug 10 bolt rotor just as easily as you use an 8 lug rotor right? The hub snouts aren't different OD's as they use the same selectable hubs.

I've got some pics of Jason's version and yes he welded on the blocks which is not shown in the pics. I know because I picked one up he hadn't been able to deliver yet when we straightened up his garage.

I am using factory front studs, with the same amount of knurl engaged or a tad more as the stock front unit bearing. Reamed about 10 test holes until we got the perfect hole size so the knurl was engaged perfect. 30k miles so far and only issue is some leaking axle shaft seals.

It wouldn't be a big deal, but you'll have to wait in line I seem to be booked.

Finishing some furniture for the gf's house for her birthday this week.

Headed to SLO next weekend to hang all the gf's pictures and work on her new place.

Building bumpers and tire carrier for my friends XJ that week.

Headed down to Bako Friday night for a week to finish Jason's rig for Ken.

Gearing and reassembling a D60 for a different friend when I get back.

Welding up the front suspension on an MJ the rest of that week.

Adding a cage to the back half of my friends Scout after that and a winch mount to his front bumper.

Then after that hopefully ordering a couple hundred feet of tube and building an exo and possible bed and replacing my PS pump can for some runs before Moab in September.

Job interviews have to fall in there somewhere and hopefully a job a SLO soonest.

Where does that leave me? End of August'ish?
