I am thinking of fitting 6 1/2 Flat4 BRM's to the rear of my 67 with 205's.
Has anyone done this, will they fit?
Thanks

You definitely need to go the short axle route. I have 7" Fuchs on the rear of my 66 and had to use the standard shorter axles that came on the car....

Thanks
With mine being an Aussie 67 it comes with short axles.
So I shouldn't have a problem.
