fyi,,, Stainless Steel Brakes Corp. their rotors have both patterns and come with studs installed, just knock out the ones that are not needed.
This of course will not do any good if you have your disc set up already.

Here's a picture of my SSBC disc brake conversion. I beleive the 14" small bolt pattern rallye wheels will fit. Since I was upgrading from 13" wheels, I chose to go with 15" x 7" small bolt pattern wheels from Vintique.

my swinger has the ones in my signature. I like them both for different reasons- the rallies are period correct while the a/r torquethrust 2's have that classic 5 spoke mag look that will grey out nicely since they are polished, not chromed. Gotta admit I got a little carried away with the 17's but I still think they look nice. I had to go with the a/r's because of a disc swap, same as you.

good luck

What year is your Valiant, what brakes does it have now and what brakes do you want? You can put this info in your profile or signature for those like me that actually look.

My best guess is you have 9" drums and SSBC only has kits for the 10" drum spindle. I think Scarebird is your best bet for a disc conversion in this case.

Humm, Just looked in the Year One Catalog ..... PN#DK63HP or DK63 for standard calipers. Must use 10 " drum brake spindles.
SSBC PN # A153-2BK is the same set up .This is what I got for my Dart

Sorry, but you gotta give to get. You either give up cash for the Scarebird setup and save your small bolt pattern wheels or use the better brakes off the '73 Dart and it's wheels.
