Bob,
When I converted my '62 from drum to disk I was told that the stub axles
from the drum would not fit a disk hub, but I never did try to see if they
would.
Speaking of rear-ends... Does anybody know how to ID the narrower wire wheel
rear-end for (1/4 elliptical springs)from the standard one? Any suggestions?
I'm also still looking for a clutch push-rod for the earlier 7/8" master
cylinder. If anybody has one they'd like to part with... please reply.
TIA,
-Drew

Hi y'all,
I've got a question about interchanging wire wheels for steel wheels on a
'63 Spridget. I know that the rearend is narrower on wire wheel models, but
is there any difference in the front end, other than the hub assembly? Can
I just slip a wire wheel hub assembly on the stub axle in place of the drum
wheel assembly without running into problems with the width of the front
end, or are the stub axles different lengths on wire vs. steel wheel
frontends?
TIA,
Bob
