[Fot] Corvair Hub End-Float

[Mike Munson]

I never considered end float. I just get them close. I would say that if you
notice it loose on the ground (the way they check them at a solo) you could
tighten them one flat. Just don't get them too tight. I have only had
problems from them being too tight.

Hi,

I'm doing my "last" nut/bolt check before running my car for the first 
time this season and I noticed that I have a bit of bearing play in my 
rear axles which are the Gp44 / Wingett corvair conversion.

I know squat about the hubs, but is there a way to set the end-float?

I'll probably run the car, but I need to convince tech that the setup is 
really "okay" before they give me an annual tech sticker.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
