Wanted Looking for front hubs for disc wheels on BJ7

[SunCobra]

I am looking for front hubs for disc wheels to replace the splined hubs on my 1963 BJ7. I have read several forums where Ford Ranger, S-10, MGB, and Nissan 300 hubs were used. I am looking for a 5 lug hub either 5 on 5 or 5 on 4 1/2 pattern?

Any recommendations on hubs to use and where to get them?

I've seen it done with a splined hub cut down and fitted with a drilled and tapped 11/16" adapter plate.

I have two BJ8 disc wheel hubs for sale but they only fit the later BJ8 spindles. Send me a private message if you are interested.

Thank you. So they are for BJ8 after chassis 26705?

 

[BoyRacer]

I don't know what chassis number made the change but I do know that they are late BJ8 hubs. They only fit on late BJ8 spindles that use the type 16 calipers. Late BJ8 hubs, whether for disc or wire wheel, have different size bearings than hubs for BN2 through early BJ8.

Okay, thank you. Since mine is a BJ7, they likely won’t work.
