I'm doing a mini disc conversion on the '67 FJ45LV and I''m having an issue with the axle length on the long side. Tech Trivia says 29 1/8" which I think is what I have (at least it's shorter than the mini/'60 long side). The problem is it bottoms out before the birf is in the axle!! I've laid it next to the old ball and claw and it certainly looks a good inch longer. I HAVE changed the pinion gears to 30 spline so that's NOT the issue (the axle is grabbing the splines).
Did this length change? Does anyone know whether it is the same as the '40 series long side (which I think I have)?
I'm trying to get my shop class to put the axle together but this throws a wrench into the whole thing (it's also kind of embarassing).
I'll post some photos later of the mini, '40 and ball and claw axles to show the length differences.
