I have a 67 Barracuda with Kelsey Hayes 4 spot front disk brakes. I want to go from 5x4" to 5x4.5" big bolt pattern (BBP) and was hoping that someone out there makes a replacement rotor that fits the Kelsey Hayes 4 spot caliper and has the BBP with 1/2" studs. Any ideas?

look up the ram man... he has what you want
 
You might do some comparison with the measurements and bearing sets on the spindles of Australian Valiants. Might be some possibilities that are almost impossible for us in the Americas to investigate.
 
Since you already would have to replace the hub/rotor assembly, consider 'upgrading' to the later (A-body) single piston sliding caliper version. This would give you the all-important spindle and caliper (to use 'as-is' or exchange). Your stock upper control arm has smaller ball joint but can also be used with small insert. Still lots of donor cars out there. What is your plan to change rear axle bolt pattern?

Thanks Mattax, that's something I hadn't considered. I also have a '72 E55 Aussie Charger - factory 340 car, and a ton of spare parts. I wonder if the rotors from this thing would work on the Barracuda. Might pay to have a closer look.
