I still have a set of laser cut conversion plates that you could try if you want, they are the first design which may suit the 140J

haha, would love to.....but im not a fabricator like john, or have any real form of metal working skills in order to do any of that sort of carry on, so it will most definately stay solid axle, unless someones offering their skills and labour for free haha
