Stainless Rear Axle Kit

marshg246 · Jan 17, 2019

You may have seen complete polished stainless rear axle kits for sale. They are beautiful. However, they are listed as correct for 1968-1974 Commandos. They are not. They are correct for the pre cush drive hubs (pre 71?) that use part number 06.0291 rather than 06.2067 for the Brake Drum Dummy Axle.

With a lathe, it could be easily fixed to work in later Commandos, but of course, I don't have one.

So, buyer beware.

I assume you’re not referring to Maddass, who clearly shows the following on his web site:

Nice to see that, I need to positively I.D. the one I have so I can sell it confidently. Looks like the outer shank on the big bit is longer on

No, they are sold by Wassel's dealers. I'm glad I didn't decide to carry them - fortunately, I just bought one set to try. I don't know who makes them. I've seen them on some big-name sites.

That's one of the two issues. The bigger issue that that the outer flange is too large a diameter to fit into the hub.

Early style on left?

No, the left is from a 74. The right is what they are selling as 68-74 but is really 68-70.
