Hi,
I bought modern brakes and hubs to replace the ones on my '67 Aristocrat LoLiner, and all went well until I tried to install the hubs. The original brake design required more space between the spindle end and the brake flange. In this photo you can see how much of the square axle extends through the flange. The modern brakes need less distance between the flange and spindle end.
So my question is how do you put new brakes on an old axle? Can the flange be cut off and moved, or can I use some kind of spacers or something?
