    If you still have the D18 Tcase - that is a centered axle and can cause issues.

    For future reference. IMHO If you have a flanged rear axle in your 70 now, keep it.

    No great loss. The M20 is considered a cigar butt. Better with one-piece axles, but the tubes are weak.

    And it's a centered axle. And the spring pads are in the wrong place.

    Hold out for a flanged offset 44.

    To add to what Timgr said it also used small axle bearings as well.
