Kevin - you have to replace the whole axle (and the handbrake cable), not
just the innards. It is the W/W axle that is narrower and decreases the
track, usually necessary when a conversion from Rostyles to wires has been
made and you don't want to flare the arches. As far as I am aware the same
applies to banjo and tube-type axles.
