Subject:      Doing  16" Wheel Conversion This Weekend

My Weddle rebuilt and regeared trans with the 6.17 r+p was delivered today,
Derek is installing the other half of the  6.17 r+p set into a SA locker
front diff as we speak,  and the 235/70/16 BFG  Mud-Terrain KMs are mounted
on the CV900 16"x6.5"/30ET wheels, ready for installation.


This will be the fourth time I've swapped a syncro trans, so I'm beginning
to think I've been down lots of blind alleys before and it should go
smoothly. I've never done a front diff swap, though I have replaced the VC
once.


Anyone in the Washington DC area that wants to come over to take a look/lend
a hand is welcome. Same venue as the Mid-Atlantic Holiday Fest.  Rites will
be held in my nice shady garage- the Westie will fit below the door frame
even with the new wheels!


It's finally coming together... I am pretty excited!


Tom F.


90 Syncro Westfalia
83.5  9 pax sunroof GL
91 Audi 200q20v Avant (for sale)
02 Mini Cooper S on order - build date July 26


PS- Anyone with a long arm floor jack will be especially welcome -  the
Syncro is getting too tall for my wimpy Harbor Freight special.
