The extra track is cast in the ali arms. So the hub's wouldn't make a big difference. If the early hubs are shorter. Then you will have problems with e-brake shoes, and rotors lining up right.

ya correct

-the steel arm hubs dont work

-good new is that the 86 alloy arm is the same as the 87 alloy arm
-the hubs are different -late is wider
early is narrower -but does look like the steel armed ones
-the splines are different

-anyway -the hub shaft is the same 85/6 alloy arm
-and 87 - alloy arm

-i just done fit the early hub to some late arms, -cos i didn't need the bump stop face
!!!

and so

the 'majic'
comes from the 1985 only fine splined hub, which looks like the steel armed hub -but isn't

-also the 1985 rear disc - if you check the listings, is a one year only affair, although the same diameter, the actual disc thickness is greater
