Sounds like a plan. Would be best done for all 4 wheels, just a flat plate to take up the gap between the hub/drum and the inner ring on the wheel and it could be held in place and centred when fitting the wheel by locating on the studs (but not going out as far as the outer ring. Outer...

Forgot to answer your question.... Yes you are correct on both counts

Sounds like what I have happening here. Is it safe? What do you think? -Start out by checking the wheels and studs on a few shore test drives and then regularly after that to check for anything coming adrift?

Yep probably a shared basic design, maybe different dimensions when it comes to the rotor itself. It is a good fit on the front hub at the centre section that protrudes through the wheel is longer than on the rear so it does locate inside the wheel. Here is the pic of the rear drum. Also a pic...

Hi. Yep they are disc on the front These are factory, but a slight cheat in that the calipers are later model. - see pic below from when I replaced the discs and rebuilt the calipers a few months ago. Don't have a pic of the outside of the drum but I'll get one later (this evening I hope)...

PS. This is the only wheel I have and is for the purpose of checking mounting/clearance problems like this before I invest in a set of wheels so I have no intention of using it before I am happy it is safe. Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks for your speedy response. I noticed that my 'red arrow' did not appear on the picture where I intended, but it seems you know exactly what my problem is. Sorry I am not aware of these wheel spacers. Can you please point me in the direction of the correct ones? Thanks.

Hi All. I have a 1970 Australian Valiant, it is based on the Dart. The front hubs are Australian specific. The diff it Australian as well. Recently I got a 15" SBP wheel from the US to try out and I have a few questions when I compare the mounting of the 15" US wheel to the original Australian...

Hi. I have a early 70's LA small block that I am going to mount to an engine stand tomorrow. Can someone please tell me what size bolts and thread I need to get. (I'll figure out the length.) Thanks Steve

Hi Dan. Not sure this will be of any use to you... but here goes. This is a pic of my 1970 Aussie Chrysler VG VIP. Based on the late 60's Dart. Note it's RHD. First pic shows the original externally regulated (single field wire) alternator and original mounts. Second pic is of the later...
