Having a big 7 and a late ruby special with full Girling brakes and a heavy back axle. The big 7 rear axle is wider with a longer torque tube. The spring pins are different, the shaft and bracketry for the Pedal/hand brake are different lengths and the operation of the front brakes would need Ruby Girling units not big 7 cantilever types. To fit a big 7 back axle to a 7 chassis would require remaking new springs for a start. Pete
If you are only fitting the front axle you would need to fabricate new arms back to the ball and a new track arm. The hubs and bearings are larger. Which you might prefer on a racer but they wont match your rears. Pete
