[QUOTE="andrewblackwell, post: 646621, member: 32647"] How did this work out in the end for anyone swapping to shorter late bay stub axles on their 68-70 for the purposes of fitting centrecaps? I've put a few feelers out based on Creationblues latest update, but something said above has me confused as to why outer bearings would need swapping to LateBay too, if i have understood Sparkywigs comment above:- [I]"I'm currently running early hubs with later shorter stub axles. All I did was replace the outer bearing and fit the axles."[/I] I thought these bearings were pressed into the cast hub carriers, so if keeping my EB hub carriers i'd just be leaving the outer 72x35x17 bearings in place. A 62mm Late bay bearing would be obviously loose fitting into the EB hub carrier casting , as well as 2mm too thick (17mm vs 19mm)? Thanks in advance for any help in making sense of this. [/QUOTE]
