5 and 4 stud wheels?
I'm thinking of getting some aftermarket disc brakes (5 stud king pin) and was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have discs that
accept both 5 and 4 stud patterns.
Thanks,
Nick.

Yes it is possible and will be very shortly as soon as Vintage Vee Dub Supplies gets the new hub machined.
they have made a disc brake set up that has both stud patterns on the face.

Vintage Vee Dub Supplies have told me that they have a 4 bolt disc kit setup with an optional 5 bolt adaptor plate (I was told that it is legal since
it was made in Australia).
Thanks,
Nick.

Yeah thats the old style ... the new ones still have to be finished machined hopefully in the next 2 weeks.
Adaptor plates are $148.00 +GST each for the fronts and the rears are $115.00 +GST each.
These are Aussie made QUALITY STEEL, correct thickness,
not pressed metal Taiwanese JUNK, crap

Front Disc setup was roughly around $650. Although Custom Offroad have the kits for around $300 if you supply the calipers.
Thanks,
Nick.
