Yeah, I forgot that little detail. Last time I did it I swapped the whole
swivel pin assembly between two cars, so the front brake drums went along
with the hubs.
A friend in Joliet, Ilinois, has all parts in hand and is about to switch
an MGA 1600 from disk wheels to wire wheels. If I can get him to join the
club first, this may turn into a home garage tech session for club members,
in which case I should be getting a complete photo tour and notes to detail
the whole operation. Could be a while though, at least a couple of months.
