RUNAMUCK Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's actually my understanding that it was the earliest of the AP's that had the back to front wipers. My 1st car was a '63, and it had them. Ap5's had the longest production run, until the VJ valiant. Someone once reckoned the real early stuff came in as CKD from the US. Hence the wipers being odd*. *Might be complete BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey, nice wheel purchase. You going to change your stud pattern to fit them? thanks man not that often you find a set of 15x7 set of globes around. dad had already change the drums on the front to disk brakes so the front is running 5x114.3 so we took the rear axles out and had them re drilled when i was still at school. so not having to change anything at all just bolt on and away we go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Its rather tidy. previous owner had it for 9 years and looked after it really well. I will prob just drive it round over summer clock up a few kms on it and flick it off when i get bord of it or it starts having problems.
