Just a thanks to everyone who offered help. I managed to find 4 of the correct rims in a junkyard. Wheels and brakes are doing fine now. However the throttle stuck open 1/2 way while driving in town,

I hope this isn't too far from the list charter...there seems to be a widely varied collective of experience here though. I bought a '90 E250 van for racing (motorcycles, not racing the van!). The fr

I wouldn't even consider grinding off the metal on the rims... It sounds obvious that they are the wrong parts.. It wouldn't be the first time that a manufacturer put the wrong parts in box or mislab

You somehow got disks are are intended for wheels that align on their center hole. When I had my '72 Ford van I had a hard time getting correct parts for it-- Ford seems to change things a lot in the

In the heavy-truck industry, this is the difference between "hub-piloted" and "stud-piloted" wheels. I wouldn't have a clue about wheel-mounting on a later Ford van, but, if your wheels have a depres

Jim : IMO any decent machine shop should be able to machine down (or off) the shoulder on the rotors. They're actually pretty soft, no need to use a grinder, so all that's needed is a lathe big enou

I agree with all that Michael Porter said, but with one addition. You now have "hub-centric" rotors, previously you have "lug-centric" rotors. If you can not find a different part at another auto par

If it's true that the previous owner changed neither rotor nor rim, then they are definitely lug-piloted from Ford. Excellent. Thanks. Anyone know of a competent machinist in eastern Massachusetts? j

I've had this trouble before with another vehicle and Federal-Mogul parts. A helpful counter person will get you the right parts. Sometimes it helps to bring in the old part when you return the part

Even if they can't cross the part by a number, you may be able to find the right part by looking in the catalog, or in the other boxes on the shelf. /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordo

I looked for a number on the old part, but the back (where the new rotor has it's info) was peeling off and the front had BPC680 1 45 stamped in it. Nothing looked familiar to anyone. The parts guy s

The E-250 used hub centric wheels. The E-250 is considered moderately heavy duty, which is why it uses this wheel mounting system. You *can* get away with grinding the lip of the rotor off, or grindi

I've now been through 4 manufacturers, and all 4 have the same design, which points a probable finger at the rims being swapped at some point. The yellow spot of paint on the "Ford" label on the rim
