So many sites say HK diffs are 1511mm and HT/G 1536mm, the difference basically being the GMH published track width difference.

This includes the brake drums, which are often left out of the equation. Dr Terry

This includes the brake drums, which are often left out of the equation. Dr Terry I just worked it out from GMH data Terry and it is 60.5" (or 1536.7mm) with drums. Simply add the HK track to 2 x the wheel offset, so 57.12" + 2x1.69" = 60.5".
