MGB rear-end widths

[richard cady <richard.cady@rssc.slg.eds.com>]

Hi All,

I know that there is a difference in width of the tube-type wire wheel rear
end and the tube type disc-wheel rear end by about 3".

Is the disc wheel rear end narrower or wider than the wire wheel axel?

Does anyone have any experience with converting a wire wheel rear end to
disc wheels?  The general opinion is that a complete rear end swap is
required and/or easier.

Thanks,

Rich
