Re: [AMC-List] Discs on a Classic

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Using factory springs on another make's axle wouldn't be much of a problem 
(outside of axle tube diameter which is solvable) but from an appearance 
standpoint, the axle needs to move back about 2 inches to center it in the 
wheel opening. IMHO, if you're going to go to the trouble of dumping the 
torque tube, you might as well center the wheel in the opening.
