I could have sworn that just a couple nights ago I saw a post saying a Maverick hub would fit right onto a Valiant spindle, furnishing a 4.5" bolt circle. But a search on Maverick netted me nothing. Was it here or did I see that some place else? (I know about the posts regarding Maverick rear ends. That isn't what I'm talking about.) |

The search engine is on the fritz. |

The search engine isn't as broken as all that. It won't handle phrase searches, but it'll do word searches just fine, and there was never any such a post as RossKinder mentions on this site. RK, you either hallucinated it, or saw it elsewhere. In either event, it's almost certainly not true. |

There was a post that mentioned swapping a Maverick rear end into an A-body to get large bolt pattern at the rear. Perhaps that is the source of confusion. |

As a matter of fact there are quite a few such posts over time, which is one reason I excluded them in my first query on this.Thanks |

I don't know about Maverick hubs, but I have been told that some years of AMC hubs will fit and give the 4.5 bolt circle. |

Just curious. Why would one want to do this? |

To avoid having to swap to disc brakes to have the 4.5 bolt circle all the way around. On a daily driver one barrel slant six ten inch drums all around is plenty to stop the car. If someone upgrades to a later rear axle with the large bolt pattern it is much simpler just to swap the front drums to get the large bolt pattern up front. |

So we're talking spindle out or just backing plate and drum |

My understanding of whatever I read where ever I read it was that the Maverick hubs/drums had a 4.5 inch bolt pattern. That should mix well and easily with a Maverick rear end (if it were real-world).Thanks |

My recollection of the AMC hub swap was that it is simply replacing the hub and maybe the shoes (different width?). No backing plate replacement. I have never worked on an AMC car so I can't say for sure. |
