HELP!

I’m planning to replace my 5pin hubs/axle (Ford 8.8 rear) with some pin-drive hubs/axle (5 or 6 pin)!

Now I’ve some problems to find a seller for them!
WHERE CAN I BUY THEM???

There must be definitely one company that is selling them to Shelby and all the other manufacturers in the USA!

HELP!

Or you can get some adaptors that bolt onto your existing hubs and have the pin drive pins, hub, and knock-off. Substantially cheaper, but not as authentic as a Jag or AMP rear end. You could also use the Ford T-bird IRS from 88-95 Super Coupe and use the adaptors.
Is your existing rear end an IRS or straight tube rear end (live axle)?

Many thanks for this input:

I’ve sent AMP right now an e-mail to see, what they can do.

The target of this project is to replace the complete rear (which has to be narrowed) for the new FIA Pin-drive wheels.
(Some information and picture are on my gallery)

To avoid any problems at the car inspection (every three years) I would prefer to NOT use adapters. At this way they’ll not come up with some stupid questions about certification of the adapters! (Here in Switzerland they are (some times) a little bit complicated)!

Many thanks for every input which help’s me to have, at the end, my car running on 289FIA wheels (aluminium or magnesium)!

At the meantime I found out, that they can not be contacted via e-mail!! Great

Thanks
