The kit supplied by DW, I believe is basically the same as for a BJ8 since the BJ8 has the same stub axle size as a BN1. I think the other models have a different sub axle size</span><br><span></span><br><span>Cheers,</span><br><span>Eric</span><br><span></span><br><span>To reply or read more:</span><br><span>https://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?4,242919,243329#msg-243329</span><br><span></span><br><span>---------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br><span></span><br><span>To STOP receiving emails about this topic, click here:</span><br><span>https://www.ahexp.com/phorum/follow.php?4,242919,stop=1</span><br><span></span><br><span>To MANAGE your bookmarks, or change your email notification settings, please</span><br><span>visit the Forum Control Center here:</span><br><span>https://www.ahexp.com/phorum/control.php?4,panel=subthreads</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thanks, The Austin-Healey Experience</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
