Yeah no worries, 60 centre will fit.

If you are looking for a centre, I have a couple I pulled from my parts vehicle located in Albany Creek. A carton of beer would see one gone if you are interested.

do many people run a 60 center in the 40?

It will bolt straight in to all but the earliest 40s.. My 40s have 60 centres in them with air lockers, only because they were cheap and it was convenient at the time. I don't know what others do..
