anyone installed 4.5" bolt circle disc brakes on a 57-64 F-100 ?

Hey all, has anyone installed 4.5" bolt circle disc brakes on a 57-64 F-100 ?

I know the F100/150 rotors will fit with 5 on 5-1/2" bolt circle, they could be re-drilled to the 4.5" pattern. It would require a fare bit of machining to relieve the back of the hub to clear and seat the wheel stud heads. The next problem is the size of the hub shoulder that centers the wheel, it's to big for my wheels, plus the hub is to long, my center caps won't fit.

I have been trying to adapt Granada disc's, have them working with the spindles now, just need to pick a caliper that will work with the spindle to disc offset.

Anyone have some idea's

I'm gonna buy the cpp kit when I'm ready to spend more money. I had one on my 51 and its was a nice set up for 700 bucks and complete bolt on.

Thanks for the heads up,

I just gave them a call, it looks like they have an error on their website. The disc brake kit is only available in 5 on 5 1/2" bolt circle, the 4 3/4" and 4 1/2" options are not valid for the 57-64 f100.

Thanks again
