Had a few minutes before heading north again, so I checked the rear hub for proper dimensions. My eyeball said the front and rear would be the same, but "nope." The spacer to the disc on the rear is 1/4" narrower, so two different hubs will need to be machined.
I also wanted to see if I could flip the caliper forward of the shock, and that is also a "nope" without hacking the h-e-double toothpicks out of the swing arm. A note about the swing arm: It's an Allis swing arm, which I think is longer than the Wards swing arm. The shocks seem to be raked a bit more than on the Wards-derivative bikes. Pics are wacky again.
Shocks mounted (I'm using stainless for all hardware).
