Hi I am new here so go easy....
I seem to have spent hours searching and searching reading etc.. my brain hurts my eyeballs are sore...
So ask the people who know!
I have a 69 devon in boxes at the moment, a few bits are missing or needing replacement including the 205 combined hub/rear drums...
But as the front end already has been converted to 112pcd and disc's with a red9design wishbone....I have been thinking about the whole rear disc diy conversion thing, using off the shelf golf or passat or merc disc's calipers etc and having laser cut caliper brakets cut etc....
BUT... before all that fun, from what i understand my early rear stub axles, are the same diameter, have the same splines etc but are 24mm longer than the later bays, with its seperate rear 112 pcd hub.
Q:I do not know it the splines are long enough on my longer axles to allow the later small hub to slide fully down seat onto the bearing/seal etc and then have a spacer made between the outside face of the hub and the 46mm hub nut to take up the 24mm play?
Or
would i have to put a hardened spacer between the bearing and the inner face of the new small 112pcd hub?
Or...buy the shorter axles from a late bay!@?!/!
Any helpfull advice?
PS what money do you think I could I get for the whole orginal VW front beam with 205pcd drums etc and steering box etc?
