Hi All. I'm thinking about converting the rear axle in my 66 P220 to one from a later model (either 1800E/ES or 240, and yes, I know it's not a bolt-on operation - requires welding new brackets onto the axle tube - anyone who has done this I'd be interested to hear about it), which would result in having the later (5x108mm) wheel stud/hub pattern. What's the best way to change over the front? Is it possible to directly bolt the front hubs/knuckles/brakes from an 1800E/ES onto the front of my P220? I'm also planning to convert to the dual diagonal brake circuits. Swapping front hardware from an 1800E/ES would go a long ways towards helping in this respect. Are there other options for the front swap? Will 140 or 164 front hardware (knuckle/hub/brake) work at all, or is it totally different.
Thanks!
Greg Sievert
