Sorry if this has been covered, but have no time to search properley for this info.

I am putting together some spares for this weekends tough tracks comp and noticed that the short side CV and axle from a 60 was the same length as a 75. Am I missing anything? Or are they interchangable? I am using these as spares for my BJ42. I know diff centres are right (have done a couple), I assume 75 axles and CV's are interchangable on the 42 also?

Thanks for the help.

Rick.

in regards to the 60 series

with the long side cvs. there is a peroid in which they used longer shafts.

Thanks for the help guys, should enough spares, never taken any before so this is new... 2 centres, axles, CVs, hubs, steering rods.

However, already have problems. Haven't driven the 40 in ages, drove it today and it felt very ordinary, thought it was just me used to a newer truck. When I pulled the front wheels off to put smaller higher treckers on, the whole hub was moving to buggery and a bolt was missing on the top that joins onto the small steering rod connector thingy. Looked to the other side and a bolt was mising that holds the caliper in place. Shiiiitttt

Rang fourbys at 6.20pm and they answered! Can fix it tomorrow morning, I already have spares, might need couple of bearings. So should be sweet. Check my members thread after the weekend to seehow it goes...
