    Probably would be easyer to have the hubs on your new axle redrilled to match your 4 bolt wheels.

    Depends on allot of things, like the spindle.
    Do you own a Speedway catalog?
    or go to there website.

    Just putting the rotors on is only half the battle...
    Would anybody make a kit to mount calipers on early spindles to make those tiny disk brakes work?

    some of makers of the the kits out there for a disc conversion say they can drill the rotors with any bolt pattern. If you have 13 or 14 inch wheels you may have a clearence problem. Give them a call.
