For my 71 Demon 340. Originally a big drum brake car. Went to the scarebird brake conversion, which I love, but now want to put on wheels that only come in BBP.

All I need is a pair of hubs. Can do Money Order, Paypal....whatever.

Thanks!
 
As far as I know, the drum brake hubs with LBP that would fit your spindles are not available.

You can just take your hubs to a machine shop and have them drill you to 4.5, same as your rear axle

I think the Scarebird install req'd drilling substitute rotors to a 4.0 pattern so that will be a redo also. I suspect a new pair of rotors would be req'd. How many different bolt patterns will fit in one rotor ?
Scarebird is a good option to get disc brakes where drum brakes were, but nothing more. Wheel options do not change. Might not be the best choice for everyone in the long run.
 
If only it were that easy..... Pretty sure you are going to run into bearing size issues and differences in back spacing for rotor alignment.

Correct.
There is No such thing as factory Mopar, big bolt pattern hubs, for an A body car.
Drum brakes, on an A body were 4 inch bolt pattern, from the very beginning, to the end, throughout all the years.

Just to clarify...are you looking for a set of 72 back 10" drum brake hubs?
As said above there were no A body large bolt pattern front drum brakes.
 
Was looking for front hubs. Guess I'm gonna see about getting them redrilled. Doesn't look like much room there. Might have to get them plug welded, THEN re drilled. Already did the Scarebird thing years ago. The rotors are Toyota Previa rotors that ya just redrill to 4 inch. Easy peasy. Great set up, by the way.

Thought maybe the later year BBP hubs would just slide right on. Shoulda known better.

Thanks, guys!
