I am not aware of anybody previously have done this and would like to
know more. I am doing this but I have had to have made special front
hubs to that the spokes clear the 2 1/4" drums and fit spacer rings
behind the rear hub extensions.
The reason is that the car originally had 1 3/4" alfin drums that were
corroded and looked unsafe. Perhaps unjustified but I did not feel that
the new alfins available were safe either. In any case they were very
expensive.
Everything now fits together and looks OK but I have to admit that I
have yet to road test this set up because the rest of the car is not
quite ready.
If you know anybody else who has carried out this conversion I would
like to make contact.
