Hi all,
Not sure which front spindles I have on my bus, how do you identify them?
Cheers
Paul

when you take the drum off earlies are straight with a step, lates have a large taper. linkpins are also a different diameter

If not been changed in the past then earlies up to '62...crossover year 63 had bit of both..ie late spindle early links. And 63 on have late spindles. Still best to do as said and pull the drum and check. I ordered up a kit for my old 62 single cab some years back and ordered for earlies and it had been changed to late at some point before I got it. Lesson learnt
always bother to check first

Just check the spindle nut size... 27mm = late or 63 only
if late, link pins will be 22mm, if 63 only, link pins will be 20mm
if late, link pins will be 22mm, if 63 only, link pins will be 20mm
