On my Ulster Rep, with a SWB chassis, my rear track is 3'7" making it a later axle. The front is a proper 3'4". The CWP housing is the Type 3 with the bolt up torque tube. I have semi Girling brakes. Would it be possible or even desirable to change the axle tubes to the shorter type, keeping the semi Girling brakes and Type 3 CWP housing. How would this be accomplished? The reason I ask is that the tyres sit near the outer edge of the wings and look rather unbalanced that way.
Sorry for the newbie question...still learning.

If you're inclined you could dissemble the axle, shorten the outer axle tubes by cutting and rewelding and simply putting it back together with new shorter half shafts. Asssuming that it's been made to fit by modifications to the rear springs you'd also need new springs. Not in itself a difficult task but time consuming and requiring a degree of precision and skills.
