You'll need a spacer to mount those rotors to the Ranger axles.

 

[David Pepiton]

I think ReefBlueHatch is talking about these spacers.

I can't for the life of me remember where I ordered them from.

 

[David Pepiton]

ah i was looking at that today i was doing some mach up. and they would help keep the rotor aligned.

something like this:

I was thinking the same thing. I used to keep my crotch rocket and then my Harley in the dining room all winter so I could polish it lol.

Man she is definitely a keeper if she's cool with that!! My exwife was always p'd off just buying cars/parts!! Maybe that's why she's an ex. And never heard of "car parts" as marital aids in the bedroom before.

Yes, those are the ones! I ordered mine from Disc Brakes R Us. Nice people to deal with and the spacers worked great. $30 including shipping, I'd rather spend $30 than trying to make my own.

Here's a pic of my swap, there's a pretty big gap.

 

[Rick James]

are those spacers for the rotor or the wheels?or both?

 

[David Pepiton]

they could be used for both but only the rotors matter really the lug nuts and wheel studs should align the wheel.

did you have to trim the stock bracket to make the NRC bracket fit?

mostly wheel bearing grease. but the occasional wheel stud may come in handy when your not 100%

 

[ReefBlueHatch]

I used cut SN95 brackets and mounted on the inboard of the axle bracket. I had to do some very small grinding on welds from the factory where the bracket was welded to the axle tube.

 

[David Pepiton]

ah ok then

 

[David Pepiton]

just an update I ordered the ball joint spacers and the rear rotor spacer.
