RE: Question on oem steel wheels- 64 B body

["Robert (UK)" <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

One last bit of info!
If you were thinking of using aftermarket front discs.....
We did a front disc conversion on our 63 and chose SSBC (easier for us 
than finding used 70's Mopar discs) because their calipers fit with 14" 
wheels, whereas MP Brakes (& most others, I believe) say theirs only fit 
15" and up.
