[Healeys] BN6 disc wheel to wire wheel conversion

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

The rear hubs just bolt onto the brake drums and I think the pattern is the 
same as the disc wheels. You may need to use shorter lug bolts.

The fronts are another proposition. I think the swivel axles are the same, 
but you will need to replace the hubs and the brake drums as the wire wheel 
hubs retained the four bolt pattern used on the BN1s.

There are probably other complications I haven't thought about.

Good luck.
