Re: JPOR: CJ D30 hubs onto XJ D30?

Thanks for the info, Ben.  The RE kit is what I was referring to as
expensive.  I'm not sure of the price either, but I think that when Bart
used it on his front D44 he was not overly impressed with the fit.  He
mentioned having to do a lot of reworking to make things line up correctly.
I think it ultimately worked out fine for him, but it could have been
easier.
