I am working my way through a '27 J rebuild.
When I dismantled the rear hub the bearing races were in very good shape but the bearings were just held against the outer race by the tension between the axle nuts.
I have attached a picture of the axle and the fittings as it came out of the hub
Looking at my parts book it seems like I may be missing the left and right thrust collars that fit inboard of the inner race and hold the bearings?
I have tried to find some images of the axle set up but haven't found anything that really helps me and I am never sure whether what I am looking at is a stock set up or some custom adaptation
I'd be grateful for any assistance on this - and if the thrust collars are indeed missing where I might find replacements?
Thanks
