[Healeys] Rear Axle Hub Mixup

[Per Schoerner]

Mike
The hub with a groove for an O-ring is off a BT7 or later. You need the spacer to be able to squeeze the bearing inside the hub, so that it doesn't spin. The bearing/spacer combination should be slightly larger than the space for it inside the hub, can't remember exactly but it's a question of a few thou. Check the workshop manual. I can't envisage that you get any problem by mixing these to hubs.

One has an O-Ring to seal beneath the gasket and the other has no such circular groove for an O-Ring.  I am sure the one with the O-Ring is original to the car (BN2) but what is the other one off of?  Do I need a matching hub with an circular groove for an O-Ring or will it be OK to mix and match?  BY the way, neither of them had the bearing spacer.  Is that really needed?
