Anyone know how many spokes the Savage rear rim has...possible G model mod?

Here are few pictures, the swap for the rear wheel can be done without welding, you can use heavy duty washer for shimming the caliper bracket and do the same for the torque arm.
I choose to weld the torque arm, I have moved the rear mounting bracket 1/4 or 3/8 inch i cannot remember.

You know, the madura should have a numerically lower ring and pinion. (16 in wheel, with 114hp) Could be something to look into swapping into the gs differential housing. Maybe drop the rpms a tad on the highway

"Shimming the caliper bracket"....is that needed for the wide tire clearance?...or for the swap itself?
edit- for my idea, I'd just want the drive hub. I'd have a 17" or 18" rim laced onto the hub that resembles the current width of my cast rim...maybe a tad over that width, but not much more.

You need shims to center the caliper on the disc.From memory the Madura wheels have 56 spokes.
