[AJD] Late A Roll-o-matic Hubs vs. Tricycle Hubs

[Chris C]

Duane and others,

      Duane,  that is what I was looking for,  someone
to say they had done it.  My problem,  is that the
front end has such badly corroded wheels on it (the
ROM) that I am not sure I will be able to get the lug
bults out if it.   They have been eaten away so badly
that I can not get a socket on them.  I was hoping for
a straight across switch with the other hubs,  Which
may still be possible if the part numbers are the
same..  I am using PC675 and as best as I can tell
there are about 6 hub options,  and I have found one
that appears to be aplicable to all of the rims.. but
that doesn't necessarily mean front ends..  Oh well I
have not tried to apply any heat to the rusted bolts
yet,  that may be all it takes.  I just want to switch
out the ROM for the straight Tricycle to spiff up the
48 A a bit.  

       Thanks again everyone for you input.

                   Chris
