wide 5 to 5x112 swap

[rockandrollcamper]

Hi people,

Further to an earlier post, ive decided to make the swap. My question is this, what is my shopping list? are there any parts I can keep/use from my original set up? Do I need to swap drive shafts? Also do you think its reasonable to hope someone may do a straight swap?

Cheers
Nigel

You can use your own drive shafts, but most other parts need changing. Someone looking to revert to stock may well do a swap ... try the swap shop forum on here.

Pretty sure that one the back you only need to change hub, stub axle and brakes, for the front spindles, hubs, brakes and the M/C needs changing over.

Also, you'll need a bias valve as sure all 112pcd bays had one of these?

Someone will correct me if I have this wrong

Nope, you're correct! I'm currently working on the conversion on my '68.
