I've been told that the walky wheels wont fit on a vl with rear drum brakes and that they will only go on a vl with discs all round. Is this true? I already have these wheels and are looking for a cheap vl as a runaround and before I buy anything I want to know if they will fit at the back or not. Also does anyone know what a disc brake conversion is likely to cost? I guess that the diff, alxe and other things may need to be changed aswell. Cheers Ben

as far as I'm aware the Walky wheels will not fit with drums, from a quick look through the for sale section you should pay arounf $350 for the n/a 25 spline disk to disk arse end, and expect to pay a bit more for a turbo/v8 28 spline... as for how much will it cost? how handy are you with a spanner?

Cheers thanks mate. I'm not the greatest with a spanner myself but I know enough people who are so getting it all swapped over shoudn't be too much of a problem
