It seems to me that it can be done. From looking at the Bentley you may end up swapping out the entire front suspension. I have no idea if the transmission will bolt to the existing mounts. I would use the rear springs, too.

If you don't use it, can I have it? My '85 Westy is itching to go muddin' !
