you will need to change the track rod ends to the later ones as they have a different taper

flexi pipe will need to be changed.

remember to re set the tracking though

disc brakes

thanks gethin the brakes are coming off a mk1 so apart from the things you have mentioned it should be a straight swop.

As long as the tyres are the same size & type I think it should be alright.Bit of a pain in the arris carrying two spares though.

I have seen a picture of a CA with a front-mounted spare wheel, so someone somewhere has done it!

Can't remember where I saw the pic though . . . . . .

I was thinking of doing that on my CF1 camper because the gas tank sits where the spare wheel used to be.
I have not done it yet but I wondered if it might assist the engine to overheat ??

front disc

I thought about fitting an electric fan with an override switch to bring the fan on when there were signs of it overheating

depending on how much the discs where going to cost you


1 way of keeping your stud wheels would be to have a conversion plate done.

Hi. I've just noticed you're in Poole.
I've just bought my 1980 Advantura and was wondering about a disc conversion too. The chap I bought it off said I can get a series 2 set up and it would bolt straight on.
I guess the 6 stud is the heavy duty version like on the 350?
Where do you take yours for an MOT? Kars & Kampers on Ringwood Road next to the Pottery?
I'm in Bournemouth by the way.
