[Healeys] Rear axle Shims

[john spaur]

Hi Richard,

I was in a hurry when I chose my words. It was the rear hub bearing 
shim that I was interested in. The shop manual states that the outer 
face of the bearing spacer should protrude by .001 to .004 beyond the 
hub face and I wanted to have shims available if I needed them. I 
don't think I will though, because the spacer is at least .006 
without a gasket.

Differential question came up because I am rebuilding the rear end as 
part of the frame up restoration. The rear drive train up to the 
OD/transmission will be complete in two weeks!

Thanks for making me think about how the axle and hubs work and 
offering to help!
