There are a few spacer/adaptor thingies on eBay I think.

Thanks Drew - it will be at Stoneleigh on Sunday too

I was looking at spacers last week and found some converters in one of the eBay shops ............. can't find it now

If you are using sierra IRS with bolt on drive shafts, then the rears are simple, just change the outer drive plates to Granada ones. If you are useing sierra front uprights then get Granada spindles turned down to fit.

you need hubcentric adaptors, I had some machined up because the pcd was not a std one. You may be lucky and find some available off the shelf.
