Rear disk conversion??

[Teqnyck]

I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever seen/done a rear disk set up on a festiva before. I was at the junk yard yesterday morning looking at a couple of Aspires, but I think before I just do the Aspire brake swap, I'd like to see if anyone has ever done a rear disk set before. Probably a long shot, since I couldn't come up with anything on the search, but I'm asking anyways Thoughts?

Holy crap, I don't know how I missed that. Thanks nonamekid, and sorry for being a n00b!!

yah, I felt like so ripping on you for being a noob, but i figured I would be nice for a change and look the stuff up, because I knew where it was at and what to search for.

Does anybody have a picture of a rear spindle/hub from an escort GT? I'd like to know what they look like to see if I can come up with any ideas...

Here is the best pictures I know of.

Thanks for the help. I already saw that article, and that's why I want pics of stock EGT rear hub/spindle; that guy kept the aspire spindle and machined the drum into a hub, and that adapter plate makes the wheels stick out half an inch more...The only stock EGT stuff there is the rotors and the calipers. I want to see the EGT rear hub/spindle, to see what they look like so I can maybe get an idea on how to make it properly fit a Festy beam.

my bad. I thought all he had done was add the adapter plate to the back of the spindle. I never realized he had machined down a drum to make a hub.

If you haven't found the pics you want yet, I have all the EGT parts laid out in my garage. Let me know what you want to see and I'll try to get you a pic.
