Now, I admit this seems to go against the grain as all that I've googled seems to revolve around swapping from steels to the preferable wires but...
How difficult would it be to swap from a current 4/4 with wires to steel wheels, assuming I had a set of recent (2006) steels to hand. I guess hub adapters required, would brakes etc. also need changing? Any idea of costs involved. Will ask Morgan, but as I'm still waiting for a response to a question I asked them eight weeks ago I'm not holding my breath!
Assuming you can get a set of 70th Anniversary wheels and hub caps (which, the last I heard are NLA from Morgan) you will need:-
Front and rear 5 stud hubs (you may be able to reuse the old wheel bearings on the front as they are the same on both wire wheel and 5 stud cars, but you will need new grease seals)
The hexagonal caps that screw into the front hubs to keep the grease in and the dirt out...
New brake caliper brackets as the brake caliper offset is different.
New brake disc mounting bolts as you will destroy the old ones getting them off
New 5 stud rear brake drums
Cain (Wolf Racing) sells the aluminium 5 stud front hubs, that I designed when I was at Mulfab. These may be a cheaper option than the factory front hubs.
