Awesome, I didnt think it would matter but wanted another opinion.

for an adapter I was thinking of getting a seperate hub bearing cover and use it as an modified adapter to the gauge itself.

thanks!

I have one and they make an adapter that you can screw onto the threaded spindle hub.)... The issue I've had is with the castle nut and cotter pin, there isn't much thread exposed to engage

ok, thanks..I will have to check and see how much thread is there and order one if it will work out. If not, I have plenty of room to put it on the rotor through the wheel openings..

Bingo, that's what I did. I bought an extra cap and made this. You have to be careful as this thing uses a shoulder bolt and wave washer to maintain alignment while allowing you to rotate the gauge. I had to make some shims for it to work, but it does work great.

How would one use that gage on a late model AFX spindle that uses the cartridge style bearing/hub packs? I have an opportunity to buy one of those Longacre gages but I don't know if I can use it.
