Fellow Morganeers:
It is my understanding that the HD 3/4" spindles are not uesable with
drum brakes...or so i was told.
Also the new standard 5/8" spindles come with a longer threaded section
to which the wheel bearing nut is fixed. In order to use the standard
cast alloy Morgan screw-in dust cap, the spindle itself must be
shortened.
Best holiday greetings to all.
