Converting from 4" to 4.5" boltpattern

[Charger383]

Hi guys!

I have a -64 Valiant with 4.5" boltpattern in the rear and 4" in the front. Was thinking about how I could get the big pattern also in the front? What do I need to acomplish this, and where can I buy the parts?

Is there anyone that sells complete kits?

Would be greatfull for any tips!

Wilwood has a kit that will bolt up to 9" drum spindle. Very nice too. I've been using it for almost 3 yrs with no issues. You will have to run a 15" wheel to clear the calipers though.

Hi 63Dartman, and thanks for your response!

It's not that long ago i've bought this car, and as im offshore at work now I dont have the possibility to doublecheck, but im pretty sure there is diskbrakes on the car. I guess i dont need the full drum to disk kit then?

Just in case you are still interested, if you have 4 piston Kelsey hayes disc on the front, with a little machining, you can use mustang rotors for the 4 1/2" bolt pattern.
