so if i get a set of dba425 they will fit my stub axles?

I used verada discs on to some stanza Hubs, pretty sure you don't drill them to the stud pattern but to bolt to the hub. So probaly a good idea to get blanks and take them and the hubs to a machine shop. I had enlarge the centre hole also. I did this on a lathe and made a jig to put the bolt holes in.

^^^ Correct! They bolt onto the back of the hubs which has 4 bolts.

if you were doing a floating disc i.e. The disc sits in front of the hub and is kept in place when the wheels are bolted. Thes yes you would drill them to suit the PCD of the wheel studs.

well can i get my ford studs drilled on the datsun pattern rotors will the over lap any holes

there Are not datsun pattern verada discs. Best to get the blank ones. Someone on here should be able to give you the part number if you need. You would drill the same 4 holes that I did, but then bolt the disc to a 5 stud hub (maybe a Z hub). go have a look at your hub/disc set up and it will make sense.

Hope that helps.

Do a search it has been covered heaps of times and with the correct DBA part numbers!

Oh yeah and you need to run the 180b stut with 3inch brake caliper spacing.

alex is right search this stuff, I did mine by reading stuff on here And confirming things with someone who has Already done the conversion before spending my money. You can't believe everything you read on the net!

its for the rear guys, i assume its a floating disc style setup?

if so, magna are 5x114.3 (dba425), same as early ford.
you might need to enlarge the stud holes though, or modify the centre holes, so a blank might be the best.

also, vl calipers suit a 22mm thick rotors, magna are 24mm thick, might need to take a bit off the pads if using new ones.

got to the dba site and download their catolog, its very helpful!

I read as his rear is 5 stud because the 9 inch and he is wanting to do a brake upgrade and 5 stud conversion to the front.
