1962 Valiant Suspension/Brake Swap Options with other A-bodies

G'day mate,

Look, I'm in Australia, but we got those cars down here and a lot of guys have done a lot of things to the over the years.

I had a 62 for almost 30 years. Here, we call them an S Series Valiant. I now have what you guys call a 61 model.......and R Series. The 1960 and 61 models are certainly different from the 62. They may look VERY similar, but there's lots of little differences esecially with things like the front end other fiddly bits.

IN AUSTRALIA......we can pretty much swap brakes and suspension stuff from later model cars up to about 1970.
I'm not 100% certain with the U.S cars, but I'm quietly confident it's the same - or even easier. You have to be careful because whilst I know pretty much most gear ( here ) to 1966 will be an easy retro fit, the later cars may have stuff a bit more beefed up, like springs etc.

I'm sure guys from over there can help a lot more, but I do know there is a much bigger following for the 60-62 Valiants down here. They are very popular. We only got the 61 for 3 months and then the 62.....but both models are called 1962 Valiants ( R and S Series ). Hope this helps a tiny bit.
