ive managed to get a complete hub set up from a man in the us. next problem i asked for measurements between the swingarm where it all bolts up . the size he gave me i since find out is without the caliper bracket as he didnt have the arm so measured through the spindle spacer to spacer . this turms out to be approx 220mm ,that the distance ive got in my swingarm . do the disc and drum swingarms differ in width or have i got a arm of something else. the bike came with a dymag in the rear which has now gone ,where do i go now . the swingarm itself is im told a job built buy jmc in the 80s that allows you to go monoshock without butchering any of the frame .i wanted to keep this but dont know what road to take if its not wide enough to take the hub from the sounds of it im about 25mm to narrow .anybody got any ideas cheers

have you tried fitting the hub with the disc + brake calliper attached but without the spacer on the disc side to see if you could get away with a smaller spacer + or machining some of the calliper mounting

the hub has not arrived on my doorstep yet but .the trouble with doing that is i think its going to through the hub so far to the right i dont think i will be possible to spoke the wheel up . i may be stressing over nothing but i think if any thing i will have to machine from the sprocket side i dont if its safe to take anything if the cush drum
