I'm building up the wheels for my '51FL and discovered this sleeve sticking out too far. Of course I took the front, and back hubs apart to see if I had put a thrust washer in the wrong place. As you can see in the picture; the green dot sleeve's smaller bearing race is shorter than the 2 pink dot sleeves and it was the green dot sleeve that protruded. I had a stepped hub that I got at a swap meet many years ago; it was shot to hell but the guts were good. Is this an early sleeve? The book says these sleeves went from '37-54 p.n. 43550-35, roller bearing sleeve. I guess I'm looking for a later sleeve, but just curious what it is. Thanks.
