-and fit the hubs from a steel armed 924/44 or a 86?
-are they the same thing
they look it!!

The extra track is cast in the ali arms. So the hub's wouldn't make a big difference. If the early hubs are shorter. Then you will have problems with e-brake shoes, and rotors lining up right.

-the steel arm hubs dont work

-good new is that the 86 alloy arm is the same as the 87 alloy arm
-the hubs are different -late is wider
early is narrower -but does look like the steel armed ones
-the splines are different

-anyway -the hub shaft is the same 85/6 alloy arm
-and 87 - alloy arm

-i just done fit the early hub to some late arms, -cos i didn't need the bump stop face
!!!:cool:

the 'majic'
comes from the 1985 only fine splined hub, which looks like the steel armed hub -but isn't

-also the 1985 rear disc - if you check the listings, is a one year only affair, although the same diameter, the actual disc thickness is greater

spring plate to wheel face is 220mm

=8 and 3/4 inches -

easy get a 225 in then, maybe something bigger on a 53 et

10j?? 255???
-doubt it would fit
