6x6 Vanguards produced prior to S/N S7332 will have a spacer beneath the flat clamping
washer. This is slipped over the extended part of the output shaft that protrudes past the
end of the brake disc sprocket. The # 40-2x15 Brake discs manufactured from S/N S7332
have been unified in length with the #50-2x13 brake disc and no longer require this
spacer. These lengthened brake discs are fully exchangeable with the older style
6x6 vehicles manufactured between S/N S7332 & S7937 & prior to SN7929 use a
washer(s) in behind the flat clamping washer to "Lengthen" the output shaft and prevent
the 108-18 clamping washer from collapsing. Argos produced from S7937 & SN7929 no
longer require these washers because the output shaft dimension has been lengthened. If
an earlier vehicle which utilized these washers has had the transmission output shafts
replaced with new ones, these washers will no longer be required during reassembly.
