haven't done this....but know many who have with different conversions.

Most cut out the front crossmember and move it forward about 6inches and replace it. Move front grill forward and extend exising bonnet or use either a Defender 110 or Stage 1 V8 bonnet and grill.

This is just one way to do it (but i was pretty sure the radiators weren't sitting on the crossmember, they are just bolted in to the exisit points off body????...i thought mine was :? )

Good luck and post up on the buildup!!!

will be a PITA...almost nothing you can do that i know of, without making some form of trick hub spacer/adapter to go from a 5 bolt hub to 6 bolt...

There are kits available but $$$$$$$, almost worth more than the car!

Prolly best thing to do would be to swap in some mq/mk and make new mounting plates..

Read up on pirate, i think they have a bit of this stuff on there at the moment!

Heres how the convert the brakes to run on one port. You connect one of the external brake lines into the bleeder of the other circuit. This setup bleeds perfectly and doesent have any internal modifications.

Other way to do it is to just Tee the two brake lines together externally.
