5 lug conversion.. miata spindles on a triumph
so trying to find info on 5 stud conversion on NB spindles
(is there enough room to redrill?)
the miata brakes are enough as my car weighs less than my wifes NB
I found a conversion for miata spindles on a spitfire/gt6 suspension
the triumph front suspension was put on a tube chassis 57 anglia back in the 80's
eventually I'll probably go more common suspension/strut in the car but for now I would love to go to 5x4.5 as narrowed 9inch in the rear behind the 408cu inch small chevy and i can't find matching wheels in 4x100 and 5x4.5 other than centerline autodrag... and would rather keep the american racing wheels that i have.. haven't swapped to the miata spindles yet.. so if you have ever heard of a 5 bolt swap for triumph spitfire (wilwood used to make a brake kit, so hub swaps may have been available from them, but now discontinued)
every prior post i've read about swaps seem to deteriorate in to 4 lug is fine don't need 5-lug but there is always exceptions
thanks
Mike
thought it was cool that i can use miata parts on my anglia too

technically its going on a 57 anglia.. that some one swapped on the triumph stuff..
I found a swap article using miata spindles on the triumph control arms.. which in turn are better brakes than triumph, vented rotors over solid, and at least a better bolt pattern than the 4on4/98mm.
thanks for the link above
