Hi again Simon....one more thing to think about.....fine threads vs.
coarse threads on the knock-off spinners.  You can't mix BT7 and (late)
BJ8 front hubs.  Just adding to your list...

 Hi Simon.....sorry, no go on the bolt-right-on issue.  Been there -
done that very recently.  You'll need both swivel axles, flex hoses,
rotors, backing plates, hose steady posts, and maybe a couple of items
other I forget to mention.  Moreover, I found that late BJ8 calipers
were sort of hard to locate.  Sorry I can't paint a brighter picture....

I know that these are larger than on my MkII BT7, but will they - by any
happy chance - bolt right onto my BT7 with no alterations at all? May be
able to buy a new pair at very good price.
