Hey guys just curious is a dry subframe the same as a hydro? My hydro frame has a few cracks in it and I beleive its bent. I got a blasted and painted dry frame here just wondering if the hydro will fit in it? |

The top of the front towers where the hydro sits up against is slightly higher than a dry one where the cone sits up against. I know you can put dry into a wet frame with hilo's, but don't know if you can go wet into a dry frame! Cheers Shane |

Hydro frame has a bayonet bracket inside, to hold the bag. Dry frame does not. So yeah you can put a rubber cone into a wet frame after you bash the bayonets in, but not the opposite. |

Greetings All. Sorry to cut in, but I've been curious about front frames. Are all dry front frames the same? Will a roundy fit a Leyland '78? Thanks Alex. |

Yes the Oz ones are all the same mountings, wet or dry. We never got the Pommy rubber mounted single bolt ones. Years ago I put a 998 minimatic lump with hydro into a `76 Clubby, bolted straight in. Be aware the dry frames have an oval spacer on top of the towers, hydro frames don't. |

You could carefully remove the wet bayonet fixings from your bent subframe and transfer them to a dry frame. Just a thought, they were only spot welded. |

What do these bayonets look like? I'll be removing them when I do a dry conversion in the near future. |

Mitch has front hydro frames in his gumtree add. Any of them any good? |
