Scorpio hub conversions 5 x 114.3 / 4.5 rebuilt

Post by timxr8 »

Refurbished front and rear Scorpio hub/spindle/bearing carriers redrilled to the more common Ford 5x4.5/114.3. These were stripped and plated black zinc and include all the mounting hardware (rear carrier mounting bolts are not pictured, but are included). Come with stock studs, option is noted. I have brand new bearing kits (Timken front and SKF rear) to install in them.

Front Scorpio hub conversion: $325 assembled with Timken bearings (torquing these is a pain. Requires the same 250lb/ft as the rear). Includes both spindles, redrilled hubs, new bearings and triple lip seal, pinch bolt, and new outer tie rods. Add $30 for high strength 2.5" quick start studs, or send yours at no extra cost to be installed.

Rear Scorpio bearing carrier/hub conversion (bolt-on the XR): $325 assembled with SKF bearings(hub will be pressed in if desired). Add $30 for high strength 2.5" quick start studs, or send yours at no extra cost to be installed. Add $100 for 2wd Cossie 108mm stub shafts (not shown), both RH thread and come with both new and used plated axle nuts.

I'll give a $25 discount if both are purchased.

Bump...I have finally moved into my new place and have unpacked about 60% of my garage boxes. That includes all of this stuff. I also procured a set of the front spindle adapters to fit directly onto the XR struts that can be included. Make an offer if interested.

These, yes, but I do have another set I can build up. They are silver in color. I'm awaiting a rear set from someone as a core for the rear. You interested?

Its a plug and play machined sleeve that lets you stick the XR strut into the Scorpio front knuckle.
