First put the axle on, then the rotor, then last the adapter.
Then the wheel, then the lug nuts, then a really pretty hub cap like the type that keeps spinning after the wheel stops.
Sorry, just in a weird mood.  :D

That sounds right. Adapter last.

thanks guys , I was hoping for another answer . but thought I may be wrong . it is not so easy to find 4 lug rotors for a Granada rear . I will have to try a couple junk yards and see what I find . I no they are out there so were . it is all most my last piece of the puzzle .

Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.

Did you have the adapters custom made?
