Axle end caps
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2014 3:34 pm
Hi All,
I have just bought a shortened SD1 axle and one of the things I'm looking at is the caps that fit over the axle ends, they cant by fully tightened to sit flush. Pics below
Now I'm thinking that space is the voice that the drum brake back-plate occupies. But I thought I’d check.
Does the plate sit behind or in front of the caps? Anyone shed any light on this?
If the plate goes behind how easy is it to remove the halfshaft to fit a spacer (i'm usine a disc conversion)?
Cheers
Rikko.
