Hi ive recently bought a 1982 998 mini, the rear radius arms have had it! but i have a pair of servicable arms from a later mini with the drums with the built in spacers, As i want to keep using the original non spaced drums i thought it might be as straight forward as just swap them but have now realised that the two types of drums hold the wheel bearings differently, is it just a case of swaping them on the stub axles? Many thanks Racer-x

You can swap the complete hubs/bearings over or just swap over the shorter non-spacer wheel studs which are pressed into the hubs from behind.
