Bigger brakes

Not sure.
My FG has a stub axle and hub all in one that bolts to the upright with 3 bolts.
The BA hub bolts onto a spindle.
The BA ones are known to fail so if you hunt around some mechanics or suspension shops you may be able to get used one to try.
If the bearings can be removed you may be able to find a bearing that has the correct OD for the Ford hub and correct ID for the VT spindle/stub axle.

Good luck

My thoughts exactly. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there and see if someone had already done it, so I didn't have to !!

Are you running a VT front end?
Could maybe run VT rear end!
You can get wheels in Jag stud pattern (same as holden I believe)

Ross I'm building a Harrison which uses VT fron stubs (well mine does), & a Skyline R34 rear (same PCD as Falcon) doesn't really matter having different PCD front to rear but I'd like to keep it a bit uniform where I can.
I'll just muck around a bit with bearing sizes to see if I can make it fit, the problem as I see it, will be the stub axle length but a tape measure will sort that out
