Check out Sportmotive. They do a straight conversion for around £350+VAT IIRC.

Much easier than trying to adapt something to fit. They can also do a good deal on Spiders.

Reputedly Jeep / Ford Ranger have been mooted at various points. TVR did get new hubs from Ford for the first 10 cars they converted as an upgrade, then they re-engineered the exchange hubs..

Beed, you wont go far wrong with one of Hans conversion kits if you are up to doing it yourself, I brought one of his inclusive packages a few years back - which included hubs, bearings, front tuscan AP calipiers, bigger discs all round & a set of spiders. Still going strong & never looked back.

Hans did me a conversion for my Chimp. I now have a Griff with SP12s and toyed with putting on a set of 18" spiders I have but was warned that on the front it might be a problem.

I apprently bougth the very last pcd conversion kit Hanns was making, about 7 years ago! Think it was more like the first one! Ian @ Sportmotive is great for them as well and based in the UK unlike our friend Hanns, who likes to visit alot!

Full - I brought a set of machined front wheel spacers from Sports at the Griff Growl & saw thier modified hubs, i agree that they are also well engineered kits.
