Front wheel bearing hub

Hello,

I am looking for a front wheel hub assembly for a 1972 disc front. If anyone can please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

I can not find anything online unless I purchase a complete front end brake assembly. It is currently 70mm, I need it to be 53mm or less where the center of the wheel fits over.

I hope I made sense.

That looks to be an aftermarket brake rotor. The Mercury models had a larger diameter than Ford. Also they are measured in Inch back then so will be easier to find. Here is a stock rotor. You did not mention if you are running stock wheels or not. The normal steel wheel the center hole on the wheel should fit the hub center. That supports the weight and the lugs only hold the wheel on. The Magnum 500 wheel does not have a center hole the 1973  forged aluminum wheel does have center hole to fit the hub. 

Hello,

The hub on it now belongs to a Australian Falcon. Rotor is the same, hub is not. Unfortunately it is one piece. If I can source a hub from somewhere I can get a rotor locally. Falcon rotors should be the same. I am running a 15" magnum with a 53mm hole. 

I have a set of used original style two-piece rotors from a 70-73 that I can measure when I get home from work.

Keep in mind that the center hole of the Magnum 500 isn't perfectly centered. :whistling:

I use the one piece rotors from NAPA if that helps.

Just did a quick ebay search - this crowd are in Moorabin - try calling them.

Hi Shane,

VMAX in Cambellfield also offer them, but in 61mm. They are listed as 68 to 73 but I think they are more 68-69 or XA Falcon. To fit onto 71-73 an option is to machine the bearing hub down and that way you can still run a bigger bearing.
