Banjo or Salisbury/tube?  For the latter it is simply a matter of swapping the
hubs.  That *will* put the rear wheels further into the arches, but unless you
are using wide wheels and tyres you shouldn't get any rubbing.  It may look a
bit funny from the rear, just add spacers and longer studs.

The rear hubs simply bolt on to the ends of the half-shafts.  The front hubs
hold the bearings, spacer, shims and oil seal, when getting hubs from
elsewhere it is best to fit new bearings and oil seal, and you will then need
to set the end-float, see http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/wn_suspensionframe.htm
and click on 'Front Bearing End Float'

  Does anybody know where a write-up is on converting a wire wheel car to a
  bolt on car?
