Adapting FWD uprights to RWD

[annodomini2]

Maybe this question has been asked before, but when people perform RWD conversions on FWD cars, how are the front uprights adapted for no longer having the driveshaft's through them?

Just remove the driveshaft from the outer joint inwards and leave the outer section in the hub. Nothing else required. Have a look at the front of an MGF/TF to see the same on a production car.

By unbolting and removing the driveshafts, I suppose. Why would it need more than that?

^^^ RWD Transits are the same.

Another vote for simples!

Every setup is different, but it should only take about 60 seconds looking at it to see what needs done.

Some, most may require the CV/stub to remain in place if it holts the bearing setup/flange together.

This is what I would have thought, given most hubs are press fit, I wouldn't want to be relying purely on friction to keep the hub in the bearing.
