Spindle ID?
Remembering getting later spindles for my '36 when converting to hydraulic brakes but don't remember what year they are; I can see a "68" on one of the spindles which would make me think the spindles were '36 but they bolt directly to the later backing plates without adapter rings. I would like to sell these spindles but not sure what year to advertise them as. Thanks

Re: Spindle ID?
The '36s have a longer "snout" so the hub/drum won't seat to the backing plate if later hardware is used. They'd be good for the '36 only person.

Re: Spindle ID?
If your spindles bolt directly to later style backing plates with NO spacer ring they are anywhere from 37-48 style. I think the 68 you see is actually a 78. To correct another post the 36 spindles have the shorter snouts and will accept the later drums with no bearing spacer.

Re: Spindle ID?
Uncle Bob, the snout length on the 36 spindle is the same distance as the 37-48. The difference is in the drums and the backing plates. The index is different with the 35/6 brake surface centering further inward than the later 37 and up style so the 36 hub has a longer snout to index the braking area further inward.
