Difference between early and later rear hubs?

[macksimus]

Hi guys - hoping you can help me out - I'm back on the resto of my split after several years "distraction". In amongst my IRS conversion parts I have a set of bay rear hubs. Something in my distant memory tells me they may be off a 68 bay my mate broke, but I believe I need the later (72 on) hubs to fit my planned CE reat disc kit.

My question is - can anyone help me identify whether I have early or late hubs? If I have early ones - I'll be after a pair of late, in which case my earlies will be up for sale - anyone got any idea what they're worth (I gather more than a later set which means I can hopefully put a bit more money in the resto fund)

Cheers for any replies

they are differences, I know the outer spindle is shorter on a later bay, also I think there are slight differences in the hubs, I could identify what you have with a photo.

no idea what earlys are worth though.

The info on Creatives website says their disc kit bolts straight onto any bay, 1968 to 1980.

It might bolt on, but whether all the bits are there or it works after fitting and doesn't fall off in a couple of weeks is a different matter.

it depends on what is termed Hub? and what is a half shaft?

the hub carrier ie the big bit that bolts to the springplate is the same or at least the inner bits will fit. The short axle/half shaft is different the early stuff is longer as mentioned.

I thought the CE kit replaced the short axle? actually it doesn't you'll need 71-79 476 mm long version it would seem??

EDIT~ this is the info you seek

Bearing and hubs are different
Stub axles longer on the ealier ones

EVERYTHING for early stuff if expensive BUT there is a chap posting up wanting some good second hand drums so as you don't need these could could sel. Thing is, if it is a full complete and decent set up then sell on to the splitty boys and just get a 71> later bay set up as you're going porsche pattern anyway.
