    Looks good, what had to be done to make the front end fit?

    Front end conversion was quite simple used the xj bearings lower is a straight swap top had the inner opened up 1mm and had to trim 4 mm of the bottom of the head. There are not enough threads for the locking collar so I drilled the collar and used an Allen screw to lock it
