Thread: Axle Lengths

what about a hub from a rear early RRC?

Eric, The109, has been playing around with some of his stuff (has a few complete Sals drum and disc)...It looks like the following:

Early 110/county rear long stub axle will bolt straight onto a Tdi disc brake Sals short stub axle housing .

A RRC rear hub will mount up to this stub axle and bearings

A Sals rear disc rotor will bolt to the RRC rear hub

Being that I am talking about converting a disc Sals with short stub axles to long stub axles, the caliper mount is already there.

The stock county axle shaft and drive flange should work, but there may be a difference in bolt pcd and bolt dia from the DF to the RRC rear hub?

It looks like this should all bolt up and be fairly easy to sort. Of coarse nothing is 100% until you are there wrist full of grease. Eric was also toying with the idea of upgrading the Def rear brakes to Disco fronts (bigger than Def rear but not bigger than Def fronts). It looks like there may be some options there as well.

Thanks must go to Eric for pulling this stuff out and taking some measurements.
