I would like to thank all who responded to my Minilite question. What I
came away with was that I should change from drum to disc brake for
offset clearance. I should also use 5 or 5.5 width for fender clearance
when turning. I guess I'll be changing to disc brakes. I've got the
suspension from a mid 60's Midget to use for parts for this conversion.
All I have to do is install new bushings, kingpin and swap out the whole
stub axle assembly (rebuilt and repainted of course) with my original
drum setup, right? Should I also R&R the rear brakes with the later
version? Are they an improvement also?
