well you will need WT axles n diff housings for starters.. brakes are the same afaik. search for Bogfrogs build. he recently done a NT-WT diff swap, with NT spacing..

you will need longer brakelines also, mine was fine for around town, but dropping off a gutter pulled the front tight... you will need, the housing's, axles and steering links (coily steering arms fit).
if yours is a 1.3 NT your centers will be 3.9 and if it's a 1L nothing will bolt together.....

I have done this in the past also. But the metal is usually so fatigued its not a great idea to re-use them. And its a pain in the arse to cut them off without destroying the mount or the axle tubes.

I'm not worried. And I wasn't trying to sell shit to you. Just highlighting the issues with recycled spring perches.

I don't think so. That arm attaches to the tie rod end, which on a WT diff is possitioned further away from the steering box due to the extra width of the diff.
