[Mgs] Wheel offset

[Paul Hunt]

That's the bit I'm after, the rest is easy!

My Salisbury stud wheel axle measures 48.5", the length I've seen quoted for 
such an axle, between the faces of the bearing caps the back-plate bolts up 
to, which is a lot less than brake drum face to brake drum face.  This is 
logical, as the axle manufacturer wouldn't necessarily know what braking 
system is going to be fitted.  It doesn't matter where the *difference* in 
length between the two types is measured and calculated of course, as long 
as it uses the same reference points.
