    New Hubs 9" 5 X 4

    I haven't gotten that far yet. I had thought the holes were drilled for 7/16", maybe i'm wrong. I'd just email scarebird, although when i asked them a question they were kind of jerks and referred me to the instructions rather than answering my question. The back of the hubs are countersunk on...

    Thanks for that lead. I already purchased a set that was cleaned and painted for $40.

    [WANTED] WTB 9" 5x4 Hubs Small Bolt Pattern

    Looking to buy 2 front hubs for my Scarebird Disc brake upgrade. 5x4" bolt pattern with 9" drum spindles. Old hubs were toast, outer bearing races wore the hub down quite a bit and now its too sloppy. Thanks, Casey

    New Hubs 9" 5 X 4

    Hey Hey, In the middle of a Scarebird disc brake conversion and my hubs are shot. The outside race on both wheels wore down the hub and are now extremely loose. Is there a source for new hubs?

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    I'm not opposed to the 10" drums, I just hate the fact I already did everything and now am screwed. Don't you need to source a new spindle for the 10"?

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    I've never even looked at aluminum wheels. My car is a pretty much stock 63 valiant. Everything is restored, it just doesn't go fast :) I don't want any sort of wheel that will give the impression that it is a fast car, that's why i like the steel wheel. She's a stock baby. Are there any super...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    So dude at PST told me I could get the wheels from classic industries. I called classic and they don't have anything that would work. I called wheel vintiques, they don't have nor can they build a wheel that will work. Wheel vintiques said even the 5 x 4.5 wheels they have, the 63 OE Chrysler...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    I was speaking with PST today, they kept insisting this kit had been used for 20 years by Wilwood with no problem..., and the reason it's not working for me is I don't have factory 15" SBP wheels with a 3" center hole. I then told him that those were never produced, SBP wheels have 2 1/4" center...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    To go from 2 1/4" diameter to 3" diameter, i believe they would need to take off 3/8" all away around which would remove the lip of the wheel that I've heard gives a good deal of structure and rigidity to the wheel

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    I purchased through PST, because of the discount and the board sponsorship and because they said they would work. It is available, but I've found no SBP wheel that will work. Kit was Kit (DBK-11022-D)

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    The hub can be configured for SBP or LBP, both holes are drilled 7/16" studs The caliper isn't the issue, its the center hole It's a 3 day a week driver/commuter. Rebuilt slant 6 with a 3 spd so nothing crazy or even mildly crazy. My whole point to them is, why sell it as compatible with SBP if...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    The center hole on the LBP wheel that is similar to mine, the ones Wheel Vintiques sells, only has a center hole of 2 7/8, so I'm not sure if that would work seeing as the diagram states it needs to be 3.01". I measured the wilwood hub and it appears to be only 2 3/4", but it was tough to...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    From my understanding all SBP wheels have the 2 1/4" center hole. When speaking with PST, they assured me the wheels would fit as long as they were 15", not mentioning anything about the center hole needing to be 3". Having contacted them again to ask them about this, they said I should be using...

    Small Bolt Pattern Wheels Don't Fit Wilwood Disc Conversion

    I purchased the Wilwood Front Disc conversion for A-bodies with 9" drums. Talked with PST and they said the kit should fit with my wheels. I have 15" Steel Vintique Wheels with SBP. The problem is when I tried to put the wheel back on after installing the disc brake kit, the hole in the center...
