    hey guys,

    just wondering, as i prefer the flat front ke's to the slanty, but the slantys hav the better motor, can you convert the front ends with the quarters, bonnet, gril & lights to look flat front?

    cheers

    Slant front's come with 'the better motor' (4a-c) and the 4k-c. Yes it can be done, need to change the radiator support or make a bracket for the lights. Also need the beaver pannel to add to what you have said.

    bit of a mission to do properly.

    you really should use an early radiator support to make it all "work"

    well i currently have a flat front, so I'm sure that would make the process a whole lot easier i recon. that would end up easier than converting a flat front with a 4AGE set up.

    I'm going to look at it and make a bracket for the lights.

    How do quads go on a slant front converted?

    Anyone have pics?
