Done some more research:-
A) The wear ring is now supplied (as any rate) only as part of the stub axle, so once it ihas a groove work in it you now have to replace the stup axle (£98.38 ) rather than just the wear ring (which used to be about £4 IIRC). Progress! 
B) The holes for the drive member bolts are blind and do not pass right through the hub (in fact at the back of the hub the diameter of the central boss tapers to a diameter significantly less than that at the front so it would in fact be impossible for the holes to be through). I'm not sure if this info is of any interest to anyone else, but having posed the question I thought I'd post the answer for completeness. The reason for my interest in (B) is that I have one rear drive member bolt which has sheared in the hub, and at some stage I need to drill it out (or drill and helicoil, or simply replace the hub).

(A) has been the case since metrication of the Series III in 1980 I believe (same time they went from two different sized bearings to a matched pair) - all 88"/109" from then onwards and subsequently all 90/110 have had the one-piece stub axle.
I too agree that the old system was better! I'm sure they had their reasons for changing it though. |

I usd a Bearmach stub on my 110 (Salisbury, rear) and the quality was great. Been on there for a couple of years now.
Can't remember the price, but at least half what you say a genuine one is. And the brake disc bolt holes are "right through" on the hubs... on mine they are anyway. usually filled up with mud and paint, but they clear when you poke them then apply some air. |
