It was pretty easy but the instructions sucked. I would do it again. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 916 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 916 | The only thing I didn't like about the kit was that there were no dust shields engineered for it. I would have paid extra for those.

Ford and Mopar cars used a 4 1/2" bolt pattern. Many aftermarket wheels are stamped both bolt patterns.

I purchased from classic parts (I think) and the brackets that hold calipers in place were incorrectly made. When I tightened the bolts it twisted the calipers so the brakes would not allow wheels to turn.
