Neil, you can convert by changing axle half shafts, but be aware that there is a
length difference in the centerlock axle housing. I believe that the centerlock
axle is the shorter of the two, and that it was a standard trick to use it with
bolt-on shafts to get more tire under the fender, but if I have it wrong someone
will correct me. John
