Missing Irs Drum Spacer ?

[shovel80]

I just converted from swing axle to IRS in the 68 type1 when I put the drum on and tourqued it down the drum did not tighten up is there a spacer that goes between the nut and drum that I am missing or a spacer between the drum and outer axle bearing ??
Thanks Dave

There is indeed a spacer that goes between the outer roller bearing and the drum.  IIRC it is about 12-13mm thick with a bevel on the OD of one end.

will the outer spacers from my swing axle work for the irs ??
if not does anybody have a set they want to part with
Thanks Dave

I believe they will, maybe just double check the fit inside the seal.

No, the swing axle spacer is wider.  None of the swing axle spacers are right for IRS.

Ok finally got the time to take apart the axles and check the spacers.
The inner spacer is 15.9 mm x 37.5 mm the middle spacer is 56.8 mm x 38 mm the outer spacer is 11.9mm x 44.4 mm.
There was no inner oil seal in the setup
and I found some thin rings of metal from ihe inboard side one was still attached to the stub. I do not know what they are from old seal, One has an on OD of 64 mm aprox and he other is 80 mm OD

Is the inner oil seal the same as the outer one if so my inner spacer should have the same od as the outer one to seal?







Thanks Dave

If you want, I can bring some original spacers to the show on Sunday.
