Ok, gave it a try. The lst2 cvd is about 3/8" too long. So longer arms would be required. No way around this, that I can see. I will try putting a lst2 c hub and knuckle on the savage arms and see if that places the cvd out away from the bulk enough for it to fit.

The axle does fit in the savage hub, and if you use a lst hex on it there is about 4.5mm gap between the back of the hex and the outer hub bearing. So either a spacer or a new hole would have to be drilled (like what mister crash did).

I do see an issue, the cvd has a tapered portion where the axle goes into the cvd cup. This may place too much stress on the savage inner hub bearing race, and cause failure.

On a side note, I was suprised to see how close the savage hub bearings are to each other. People using the longer Xl axles must have bearing failures frequently, as the bearings are not that big (8x16) and are almost touching. Not so with the lst hub, it places the bearing at least 4 times farther away from each other, and the inner bearing is much bigger (still uses and 8x16 outer bearing).

Back with more info in a few.
