5x205 spindle link pink ->5x130 late brake drums

[speedwell]

i guys i need your tech advice

as you know i've a 61 bug with link pink front beams  so i'm on 5x205 pattern , but i would like to go in 5x130 porsche pattern
as i've a 1200cc in it , i don't want to go disc brake (unless I really have no choice) and with no adapter 5x205 ->5x130
so i would like to buy  68-> brakes drums redrilled in 5x130 , at rear it could be work without nothing to do  or just a little  spacer to add between the rear axle boltand the drums
but for the front it's a little different /difficult, it  seems that there is no bearing corresponding to the body of pink link spindle and the inner diameter of the brake drum it seems that the diameter of the spindle body are different from a ball join spindle

so what is the solution to have porsche pattern in front with late barkes drums??
is there enough material/steel to remove around the bearing housing of an early brakes drums  as this i can  machine  my 61 brakes drums and redrilled them to accept the porsche wheels??

thx for your advice friends

I know you said no to discs, but you can get a linkpin dropped spindle that has a later (4 lug) spindle. Then you just fit porsche pattern late model discs. Not hugely expensive and no more adjusting drums.....

The kit you show in the link is exactly what I was referring to.
If you did run drop spindles assuming you have an adjustable beam you could wind that back up a bit to compensate. Probably make ride quality a bit better too.

only the dropped spindle?

[leec]

IMO both kits use a dropped spindle so can't see the difference

If you send Michael @ Machine 7 an email I'm sure he will look after you. He's great understanding what you are trying to do and suggesting what you new to buy.
