hi ...to help you out a bit if they have 4 holes or 6 holes in the wheel then there is a good chance they wont fit! hope that helps:) :)

Im having it done in the machine shop as we speak. Its costing £20 so no need to experiment as its wasted money:) They didnt see any problems in it so full steam ahead.

thats the problem i have.... i have the converted engine brackets conversion plate, drilled flywheel,smaller clutch, remote filter, the only bit im trying to improve is the spigot adaption as the old one is somewhat poor. I think machining is the way as they machined it to begin with & it will...

well "Bob" says its the way to do it..... http://www.bobuilt.co.uk/conversions/v811htm & while it may seem hard there is only one way to find out.....after all if it doesnt work then ive only got to get another shaft & still held up as there are no other solutions to hand at the moment

I have sought advice & they reckon the shaft isnt hardened steel, & they have it on a web site as thats the way to do the conversion. There doesnt seem to be anyone on here who has actually done it as responces are not exactly forth coming.Logically there are only two ways......machine the bush...

Through further investigation i have found that the way foreward is to have the series 1st motion shaft machined down to fit a standard v8 crank bronze bush.This seems far better than machining the bush down to wafer thin as was previously done in my setup by a previous owner. Abit more extra...

yes hills tend to be slower on lpg than petrol.....my guess is yours is wound right back to weak so under full load it struggles. As we have a lot of hills here i decided to stay rich so better under load & on the open road to get speed up.....hence my lower fuel figures. So yes mine does go fast:)

i do spend a lot of time going up a long hill & along duel carridge ways but try to keep to 60mph but as ive overdrive then i do nudge 70 regularlythe only way id get more mpg is if i slow down

the engine is v8 & the gearbox a series 2 1/4 hence its through an adaptor plate.the bearing is a one off..... im after the special conversion spigot as neither a v8 or series is any good

you must drive really slow then:D

The point is its not a main dealer part as its a conversion. while the grease effect works its cos the bush has been machined down then its too thin to work & be knocked back in easily. Im after the replacement bush specially made for this application that im sure i have seen somewhere

Just replacing my v8 engine on a v8 to series gearbox & wonder if anyone knows where to purchase a spigot bearing. The old one was a v8 bronze bush machined down to accept a series 1st motion shaft but is extremely thin & unlikely to come out.Im sure i saw somewhere a proper bush mounted on the...

i bought a kit off of ebay for £130 & fitted it myself, pretty straight foreward...... these days they are all injection & they tend to say carb systems are outdated.....so most outlets are not interested. I guess there is more money in complicated systems??? The end result is approx 1/3...
