Kit ‘B’ shows once again a representative selection of parts that we would normally dispatch to enable an axle to be rebuilt. In order to assist our customers we will, at no extra cost, except for any shipping costs, provide some selection of extra hardened spacers for items 14, 21 and 23 in the kit. Should the customer find the range of spacers still does not cover his requirements we will dispatch extra supplies, only requiring the return of extra spacers as soon as possible. It should be pointed out that certain axle cases went through a production reclaim system that required the use of some spacers outside of the normal range.
