'82 850GZ to '79 850GT rear wheel swap?

[Guest]

I'm in the middle of swapping 79 850Gt to 82 850Gz rear wheel. The front swapped just fine to the beaded tubeless rim.

My question, Do the wheels interchange? It appears the wheel itself is 5/8" wider on the 82 than the 79. When I went to put the outside RH spacer in from the 79, it needed to be half the thickness (about 5/16").

Do the hubs themselves interchange? (gears and seals appear identical, except for total wheel width).

Is the easiest thing to just get the spacer milled down and run it?

I really don't want to change the entire swingarm over but could if I had to...

Well, a day later and another look at things. The hub is wider on the 82Gz but this doesn't seem to matter on the '79. Everything lines up except for the far right spacer. I'm going to machine down the '79 850gt spacer to 7mm and she should be great. I put washers in for shims and rode it today with no problems. Now ya know.
