gezz · Jul 23, 2007

im thinking of fitting a disco 1 disk brake axle onto my rusting '90 drum brake rear axle.although its a slightly shorter axle,i think the fittings are all the same.does anyone out there know?thanks

i think you mean narrower, but yes it will fit

really, i never knew disco axles were narrower than 90 ones, are you sure? i thought disco 2 axles were wider but all the rest were the same. apart from series axles witch are narrower agian

i measured my axle which i think was about 46 inches(just axle not drums also) and then the disco which was about 42.

I fitted one to my 90 yesterday and it dont look any different apart from hubs looking smarter. fits staight on too.

who the **** is jane+yella, it certainly aint me, im no feckin schitzo, no mate, im the original yella. not sure about the narrower thing but i know they fit

maybe the extra width is made up in the disc brake hubs on the disco axle. if they are different widths its the first i'v heard of it.

It's a lot cheaper to buy new drums and shoes, if your getting the axle from a breakers, Simpsons near York wanted 300quid just for the axle can't remember how much for the calipers an gubbins.
