but the axle was originally a syncro one with drum brakes. but i spoke to bam20v on here and said hes never seen a rear axle with 72mm bearings and he has 10 syncro/rallye axles at the mo.
Some are 68mm, some are 72 mm. Most syncro were 68mm I think.
From 1986 to 88 they were all 68mm, from 1988 on they were 72mm but
I have seen a Rallye with 68mm and ALL Rallyes were built in 1989,
Also my first G2 Syncro (a 1988 model) had the 72mm rear bearings
