Thanks everyone for the input I have started to disassemble the U bolts &
the relocation looks simple ( thanks Michael) I should end up with a 2295
wheel spacing 5mm over specification
My original spacing ( re measuring accurately ) was 2285 Thankfully I can
put the hatchet & pliers away.
Thanks again Keith
