thinking that 14" ranger rims might be the solution to the problem

You could see if there is enough material on the snout of the rotor to machine down to fit the wheels, if the wheel's inside diameter will clear the caliper.

i was told by a few people the wheels wont work. but like you said, maybe we should wait and see. hopefully they will.

thanks for the info. yes, he has the smaller dog dish style hub caps.

guys, with my buddys 60 edsel running really good now, his next project is a power disc conversion. we have all the info needed and he has the scarebird caliper brackets, and will get the required parts form scarebirds list.

i think it was 1969 mustang rotors, if i remember correctly.

obviously his current 14" wheels wont work with the calipers, and im guessing he will have to look for 69 mustang, or t-bird, or any other full size factory 15" steel wheel to clear the caliper, but will his factory edsel hubcap from his 14" wheel still fit on a 15" wheel ?

thanks guys

How can you tell the rims won't work if the setup is not on the car? If they wont work, and I'm assuming he has the dog dish (small) hubcaps, look for a wheel that has the same type of "bumps" on the wheel as the Edsel wheels have.



If he has the full cover hubcaps, no they won't work.
