Hi Hugh
Presumably at least one hub has been run loose and/or lapped at some stage. If free of cracks it is extravagant to scrap an axle. A less worn or les lapped hub may suffice. Presumably some have reduced the width of the axle gear. Dunno how much considered prudent. Even if sealed bearings fitted still need to retain the large washer on the inner side of bearing.
I gather on Ford Model As it is customary to shim the taper. Cannot imagine success with the highly loaded Seven but has anyone tried? Would have to leave the pin out and constantly tighten.
