I'd give Tom Colby at Speedwell a ring and while you are on the phone just
remind him to send his buddy Daniel that metric thread
gearknob......................
I would pay careful attention to the finish at the axle ends so that the
position of the near rear oil seal is where the surface is smooth and not
rusty.
The hubs are a direct replacement fit of the ones I have seen but would need
the stud holes enlarging for bigger than standard studs - I bet Tom could do
this for you.
Offset is a function of any spacers you use rather than the double bearing
hub which is same as stock for offset.
My opinion is that competition strength axle/half shafts are mandatory for
double bearing hubs but I am interested in anyone else's experiences.
