Big 6 lug Brakes

Ok, so I bought a Mcgaughys disk brake conversion for my 70. I am running 20" wheels, so the small 12" rotors look tiny.

Anyone know of a 14" or 16" rotor, caliper and bracket that will fit the spindles I already own? I could probably use the brake performance, so it's not all just looks.

I plan to convert the rear 12B as well, already found a few kits for that. I also already own the rims, so going five lug's out.

Re: Big 6 lug Brakes

I haven't done much research in that direction, but I can't think of anyone that offer 6 lug big brakes that will let you keep your spindles.


Take a look here for discussion on the McGaughys 13" kit. You might check with them to see if they will mod your spindles- LINK

FYI- This is what the 13" kit looks like with 20. I feel it's a perfect size for the wheel.

Thanks. I should've clarified: I have McGaughy's dropped spindles now... I may be able to mod the ones I have to fit their caliper brackets.
Edit: Called 'em, need to run new spindles, which puts me in the market for an entirely different kit.

Maybe a CPP 16" rotor kit with their spindles that tuck 1" on each side.
