Actually, I'm pretty sure the Corvair spindles are a 5 lug pattern, at
least the ones on my car were. I recently had them redrilled to the TR 4
lug pattern. Figure another $100 - $150 to have a good machine shop do
that part. They'll have to weld up one of the holes and then drill 4 new
ones in the right locations to match the TR pattern.
